Ancient Egypt finds bronze ring with Lighthouse of Alexandria
An Egyptian and European archaeological expedition has uncovered a bronze ring depicting the ancient lighthouse of Alexandria for the first time on a seal ring. This engraved image is believed to be linked to the use of the palace in managing the lighthouse until the second century AD. The ring was found on Antirrodos Island in Alexandria. This discovery is exceptional because it shows an image of the lighthouse on a rare artifact, directly connected to the city's history and the management of the lighthouse since ancient times. This finding comes as part of excavation activities that revealed artifacts extending over more than eight centuries, including tools and pottery from different periods. It adds significant historical value to the discovery and confirms the continued use of the area for administrative and artistic purposes during the Roman period.
