A 2,000-year-old ring was found at the bottom of the sea.

Archaeologists exploring underwater ruins in Egypt have found a bronze signet ring. People reports this.

The jewelry, made approximately two thousand years ago, lay among the ruins of Alexandria at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. It is believed to depict the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

The Secretary General of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, Hisham el-Liti, called the find exceptional. According to him, archaeologists have never found seal rings with an image of an ancient lighthouse before.

The artifact was discovered on the royal island of Antirhodos, where the royal palace used to stand. It was described by the Greek historian and geographer Strabo, who visited Egypt between 29 and 25 BC. Following a recent discovery, archaeologists suggest that the palace remained in use until the 2nd century AD. Most likely, administrative work was carried out there, including managing the lighthouse.

The Lighthouse of Alexandria, also known as the Pharos Lighthouse, was built in the 3rd century BC on the island of Pharos in Alexandria. Its height reached approximately 120–140 meters, which made it one of the tallest structures of antiquity. The lighthouse was destroyed by a series of earthquakes by the 14th century.
