The Lighthouse of Alexandria in Egypt is touted as the 7 wonders of the world. However, unfortunately, not a single piece has reached the present day from the Alexandria Lighthouse. It is not known whether this perception will end, but Patara Lighthouse, one of the most important lighthouses of the Ancient Age, continues to shed light on the future despite Alexandria. Patara Lighthouse is being restored by the Directorate of Cultural Heritage of the Antalya Governorship, Investment Monitoring and Coordination Presidency. Patara Lighthouse, which had a pedestal and a tower of 2-3 meters above the base, about 5-6 years ago, has reached a height of 16 meters today. Patara Lighthouse will have reached a total height of 24 meters when the works are completed. And the lighthouse, which has been restored with its original stones, will continue to exist with its former glory, as one of the most important ancient structures of our region, in its original state.
It is predicted that the ancient lighthouse in the ancient city of Patara, whose history dates back to 6 thousand years ago, was destroyed in the tsunami that occurred after the earthquake that occurred in the 13th century. Again, the lighthouse M.S. It is among the information obtained through archaeological excavations that it was built by the Roman Emperor Nero in 64 BC. The stones of the lighthouse, which was destroyed after the tsunami, were left under the sand as a result of the rising sea. The stones of the lighthouse, which were unearthed during the ongoing excavation and restoration works in Patara, were examined in the laboratory using artificial intelligence. And the real locations of the stones were determined by artificial intelligence technology and used in the restoration of the lighthouse in accordance with the original.
While the works are expected to be completed in the coming years, Patara Lighthouse can be visited today and a magnificent journey can be made in the shadow of history.
