| rdfs:comment | - With a height variously estimated at between 115 and 150 m (380 and 490 ft) it was among the tallest man-made structures on Earth for many centuries, and was identified as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World by Antipater of Sidon. It may have been the third tallest building after the two Great Pyramids (of Khufu and Khafra) for its entire life. Some scholars estimate that would make the tower the tallest building up to the 14th century.
- Andromeda went on a tour of Egypt after defeating the Gorgons in Italy. She admired the Lighthouse at Alexandria, and felt it would be impressive if it was ever built. But first, Alexandria itself would have to exist before that could happen.
- The Lighthouse of Alexandria was a lighthouse built by Ptolemy II in 280 BC. It was the youngest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. In 2376, neither Neelix nor Tom Paris could remember this particular monument in a memory game they were playing. When Seven of Nine correctly provided the Lighthouse as the answer, Paris declared Borg photographic memory "the wonder of the modern world." (VOY: "11:59")
