The Incredible History of The Lighthouse

The practice of keeping the light going through the night and storms has gone on for thousands of years. Lighthouses have been an essential part of navigating coastal waters since many of the first ships set sail. From the Pharos of Alexandria, a wonder of the ancient world, to the Thridarangar Lighthouse, one of the most isolated lighthouses in the world: their abundance is matched with the necessity of their duty. They light the way into harbors and ensure sailors are aware of hazards they might come across. Without a proper lighthouse system, there's no telling the human and economic costs that could have befallen the civilizations of the world. In this episode, we're going to explore the beginnings of lighthouses, and how they were improved to the point of obsolescence.
New videos are posted every Thursday.

How does this channel not have more views

[@Learn_Something_New]

Thanks for watching! I'm a fairly new channel still. I'm thinking that maybe with more time on the platform, my videos will get pushed to more people. In the meantime, I'm just going to try to keep creating better videos so when they do find the channel, they like what they see :)

I'm getting ready to read To the Lighthouse by Virginia Wolf, and found this treasure while researching lighthouses. (Context is key in art!)

This was a great video. Algorithm doesn't seem to have picked it up yet.
Keep it up though, once the big growth starts you'll already have tons of high quality videos for new viewers to watch through. Definitely think this channel has what it takes to get big.

In the segment about Boston Light on Little Brewster Island, the granite tower shown is the Graves Light from 1903, marking the northern entrance to Boston harbor...

Only 300 other people have seen this video. It's kinda cool finding someone before they get huge. Your videos are great, keep it up!

[@Learn_Something_New]

I appreciate it! I really hope more people find my videos one day, but in the meantime, I'm just going to keep finding interesting topics to talk about. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for creating this video! This is such a niche topic but I was interested in it for fantasy worldbuilding. Explaining the technical side was extremely helpful ❤

[@Learn_Something_New]

Glad you found it interesting! Thanks for the comment!

No joke when I was researching this episode, specifically the Pharos lighthouse, I came across the civ wiki several times

Nicely done, but fresnel is pronounced (/ˈfreɪnɛl, -nəl/ FRAY-nel, -⁠nəl; /ˈfrɛnɛl, -əl/ FREN-el, -⁠əl; or /freɪˈnɛl/ fray-NEL)
