Question

1. Who built the underwater skyscrapers of the ancient seas on Earth?​

Answer 1

Ancient underwater 'skyscrapers' are not man-made but could refer to natural coral formations or metaphorically to the constructions of ancient peoples who built complex monuments and temples through remarkable creativity and without modern technology.

Step-by-step explanation:

The underwater skyscrapers of the ancient seas on Earth were not built by a specific entity; rather, these remarkable structures often refer to natural formations such as coral reefs or, metaphorically, to the impressive achievements of ancient civilizations who constructed large-scale monuments and buildings. The ancient peoples, through remarkable ingenuity and creativity, built monumental structures like temples, palaces, and sites such as the Sanctuary of Asklepios on Kos, without the aid of modern technology.

Throughout history, as civilizations flourished, new specialized occupations emerged, and the demand for more sophisticated structures grew. The ancients crafted elaborate frescos like those in the Palace of Knossos, reflecting their environments and economic activities. This evidence from archaeology and history demonstrates the ancient people's capability, comparable to ours today, even in the absence of modern conveniences such as electronic textbooks.

Answer 2

The Lighthouse of Alexandria, sometimes called the Pharos of Alexandria, contemporary Koine, was a lighthouse built by the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Ancient Egypt, during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (280–247 BC). It has been estimated to have been at least 100 metres (330 ft) in overall height. One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, for many centuries it was one of the tallest man-made structures in the world.

The lighthouse was severely damaged by three earthquakes between 956 and 1323 AD and became an abandoned ruin. It was the third-longest surviving ancient wonder (after the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus and the extant Great Pyramid of Giza), surviving in part until 1480, when the last of its remnant stones were used to build the Citadel of Qaitbay on the site.

In 1994, a team of French archaeologists dove into the water of Alexandria's Eastern Harbour and discovered some remains of the lighthouse on the sea floor. In 2016 the Ministry of State of Antiquities in Egypt had plans to turn submerged ruins of ancient Alexandria, including those of the Pharos, into an underwater museum.
