Ugears Wooden Model Kit Lighthouse of Alexandria

€73.90

Bring history to light when you build the Lighthouse of Alexandria from Ugears! This majestic wooden model lighthouse is an imaginative recreation of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World-the giant lighthouse built by Ptolemy I and Ptolemy II in the third century BCE at the western edge of the Nile River delta in Egypt. In a first for Ugears, the Lighthouse of Alexandria has electrical components that light the model from within, making it a beautiful, warm, functional nightlight. Built of solid blocks of stone, and towering over 100 m high, the Lighthouse of Alexandria was one of the tallest man-made structures in the world. It survived more than a thousand years until a series of earthquakes, the last in 1303, caused it to tumble into the sea. Remnants of the great lighthouse, including granite blocks, columns and statues, were rediscovered on the floor of Alexandria's harbor in 1968 and can still be seen by divers today.
