What was the first lighthouse?

Have you ever wondered how ships found their way in the dark before electricity? More than two thousand years ago, sailing at night was super dangerous! Ships would crash into hidden rocks because sailors only had the stars to guide them. But then, the ancient Egyptians decided to build something absolutely mind-blowing—the very first lighthouse! Travel back in time to the bustling city of Alexandria, where a brilliant architect built a towering fortress over three hundred feet tall! It was the second tallest building in the world at the time, standing as high as a modern skyscraper! At the very top, a gigantic bonfire blazed every single night, and a massive bronze mirror reflected the bright light up to thirty miles out to sea. You won't believe how they kept the fire burning—they actually used donkeys to carry the fuel all the way up a giant twisting ramp! Join Mira and Finn as they uncover the amazing story of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Discover how it saved countless sailors, survived for over a thousand years, and how scuba divers recently found its sunken ruins!
