Descoperire rară în Egipt: un inel antic, cu imaginea Farului din Alexandria, găsit în ruinele unui palat scufundat

A rare bronze seal ring depicting the Lighthouse of Alexandria was found in the submerged ruins of a palace off the Egyptian coast. This is the first known artifact of its kind featuring the ancient wonder. The discovery was made by a team from the European Institute of Underwater Archaeology and the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. The ring was excavated from the legendary palace on Antirhodos Island, which was a center of power during the Ptolemaic period. Experts believe the engraving likely represents the lighthouse, with some noting an unusual detail that may depict smoke from a statue's lamp. Recent underwater research has provided new insights into the lighthouse's appearance, aiding digital reconstruction efforts.
