Short History on the Lighthouse By: Glenn Mast

Were you ever curious about the history of light houses, or how they came to be? In early time people set fires at the edge of the water to warn boats of dangerous rocks and shores. The Egyptians were the first people to build lighthouses to use light to guide ships. 

 In Egypt in 283 the Egyptians completed the tallest lighthouse ever built.  It guided ships for over 1,500 years and stood 900 feet tall. Lighthouses were also constructed by the Phoenicians, Greeks, and the Romans
