Скачать или смотреть Boring Engineering of the Lighthouse of Alexandria | Sleep Story

Welcome to The Quiet Builder. Tonight, we travel back to 280 BCE to inspect the engineering marvel of the ancient world: The Pharos of Alexandria.
In this sleep story, we will slowly climb the three massive tiers of this 100+ meter structure, examining the limestone blocks and lead mortar that held it together against the Mediterranean storms. We will explore the massive square base, the octagonal mid-section, and finally, the cylindrical lantern room where the great fire burns.
There is no drama here—only the steady, boring details of ancient construction. We will discuss the hydraulics of the fuel lift, the polishing of the massive bronze mirrors, and the precise masonry required to guide ships safely into the harbor.
