Explore Alexandria Harbor in Egypt in search of one of the Seven Wonders of the World: A massive tower built by King Ptolemy I Soter in the third century B.C. Measuring approximately 400 feet high, the structure was originally designed as a navigational marker for shipping vessles and it eventually became a fully operational lighthouse.
