Lighthouse of Alexandria The Ptolemaic commander Soter - the successor to Alexander of Macedon - issued orders to establish the Alexandria Lighthouse around 280 BC, with a length of 130 meters. And they finished construction during the reign of his son, Philadelphia. The lighthouse was located on the edge of the Pharos peninsula, at the site of Qaitbay Citadel now, but it was destroyed in the earthquake of 702 AH / 1408 AD and its stones were used in the construction of the Qaitbay Citadel. (The phenomenon of re-use of the ruins of the antiquities of the ex-antiquities of the later ones) Its light was continuous for 24 hours and could be seen approximately 30 miles out into the sea So it is believed that he used the highest electric arc lamp and a huge concave mirror (From evidence of ancient use of electricity) It was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
