The Pharos of Alexandria: The Final Secrets

Overview

Off the coast of Alexandria, several metres beneath the water, lie the remains of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria. For nearly 30 years, archaeologist Isabelle Hairy and her team have been exploring thousands of stone blocks to piece together the history of this extraordinary monument. Today, an exceptional operation is being prepared. The lighthouse’s most monumental remains, some weighing several dozen tonnes, are to be brought back to the surface and digitised. Using new technologies enhanced by artificial intelligence, the archaeologist will be able to create a virtual replica of the lighthouse and reveal the genius of its architects.
