Measuring 13.4" x 13.4" x 14.4" when assembled, this kit offers a hands-on historical experience, perfect for enthusiasts and professionals seeking a sophisticated display piece that honors one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. ## Description Aedes Ars the lighthouse of Alexandria, sometimes called the pharaohs of Alexandria was a lofty tower built by the Ptolemaic kingdom between 280 and 247 BC and between 393 and 450 ft. (120 and 137 M) tall, it was one of the tallest man-made structures on earth for many centuries, and was regarded as one of the Seven wonders of the ancient world. Badly damaged by three earthquakes between 956 and 1323, it then became an abandoned ruin. It was the third longest surviving ancient wonder (after the mausoleum at Halicarnassus and the still extant great pyramid of Giza) until in 1480 the last of its remnant stones were used to build the Citadel of qaitbay on the site. In 1994, French archaeologists discovered some remains of the lighthouse on the floor of Alexandria's eastern harbour. Pharaohs was a small island just off the coast of the Nile delta's Western edge. In 332 BC when Alexander the great founded the city of Alexandria on an isthmus opposite to Pharos, he caused the island to be United to the coast by a mole[2] nearly a mile long (1260 M) called the heptastadion ("Seven stadia"-a stadium was a Greek unit of length measuring approximately 180 M). the East side of the Mole became the great harbour, now an open bay; on the west side lay the port of eunostos, with its inner basin kibotos, now vastly enlarged to form the modern harbour. Today's city development lying between the present grand square and the modern ras al-timing quarter is built on the silt which gradually widened and obliterate this Mole, and ras al-timing represents all that is left of the island of pharaohs, the site of the lighthouse at its eastern point having been weathered away by the sea. The lighthouse was constructed in the 3rd century BC. After Alexander the great died of a Fever at age 32, the first Ptolemy (Ptolemy I scooter) announced himself King in 305 BC, and commissioned its construction shortly thereafter. ## Features - Alexandria Lighthouse Model Building - Made from real ceramic pieces which simulate stone. - Includes all the necessary materials to build a high quality model. - Approximate number of pieces: 5,500.

I expect this lighthouse to be a nice challenge and an excellent addition to my living room!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An incredible model…and amount of my time *by D***. on August 14, 2023* The media could not be loaded. First off, this thing is just so cool. It was my first time doing a kit like this, and it blows me away how amazing and fun it was. However, it wasn’t all fun. You end up having to doctor most pieces to get them to fit right. Sandpaper, an X-acto, and tweezers are necessary, and not included. When sections come together, though, it makes all that frustration and annoyance well worth it. I also want to point out that there are some groups of pieces that have almost a precise number, which means you have to be perfect the first time. I learned that the hard way. Finding extras was incredibly difficult, so it resulted in me purchasing a whole new kit. It was ultimately beneficial, because I knew I had a lot of backups going forward. I ended using quite a lot of them, too. When it comes to the instructions, they are far from easy to understand. But once you study them for a bit, you can figure things out fairly quickly. Just don’t expect something like a Lego manual that shows piece by piece placement. You’re kind of on your own here. As I mentioned in the title, this took a long time to complete. I started in October 2022 and finished it in August 2023. I would venture to guess that I probably worked on it 75% of the days between those months. It was ~60-90 minutes each day. Now, I’m a perfectionist. I assume most wouldn’t be so obsessed with perfection, but as this was taking up so much time, I figured I’d perfect it as much as I could. The light and the cage around the light aren’t included. I purchased the light and built the cage on my own. The light can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01FZHI8UG?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_imageThe cage was built using washers and rods. Overall, if you have the patience and are fascinated by this lighthouse, like I am, it’s worth it. Other than the extra financial investment, my time, and the health of my knees, it was a great time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars *by S***. on September 30, 2017* Beautiful!
