Re-dating Pharos Castle in Alexandria

Mehr zum Buch

The book presents a critical examination of the claims made by Hermann Thiersch regarding the excavations at the lighthouse site near Qaitbay Castle. It argues that Thiersch's work, while claiming to be based on his father's excavations, primarily relies on existing references rather than original research. August Thiersch's contributions, including detailed drawings of the lighthouse, are acknowledged, yet the book seeks to clarify that the foundations of the lighthouse are not conclusively revealed through their studies. This analysis challenges the authenticity of the excavation claims.
