For centuries, it stood as a beacon visible from miles away, guiding ships into one of the world's busiest ancient ports. Then earthquakes brought it down, and its remained vanished beneath the Mediterranean Sea. Now, more than 700 years later, parts of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria are rising again.
Archaeologists have recovered 22 massive stone blocks from the submerged ruins of the ancient monument, a structure widely recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, according to reports. The discovery marks a major milestone in an ambitious effort to digitally rebuild the lost wonder and uncover what it truly looked like.
