The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is a list of the most remarkable creations of classical antiquity and only includes works located around the Mediterranean rim. The number seven was chosen because the Greeks believed it to be the representation of perfection and plenty. Of the original Seven Wonders, only one—the Great Pyramid of Giza, the oldest of the ancient wonders—remains relatively intact
The Lighthouse of Alexandria was the most recently built Wonder, having been built in 280 BC by Sostratus of Cnidus on the island of Pharos which was located in the harbor of Alexandria, Egypt. Of the Seven Wonders, it was the first that was built for a practical, safety-oriented (somewhat) purpose. The Pharos was built to direct ships and to serve as a military lookout. The Lighthouse of Alexandria survived for over 1000 years, despite many earthquakes. But all the earthquakes damaged it horribly and it was eventually disassembled and the stones were used to build a fort.
