Not to be confused with Pharo, the immersive programming experience: https://pharo.org/
jszymborski•1w ago
Or Pharos, the Print Management Software which I wrestled with as an undergrad minutes before my labs so I could print and hand-in my reports.

https://www.pharos.com/

Or Pharoahs, a concept from the Disney film Prince of Egypt.
shoxidizer•1w ago
That's a Dreamworks movie actually
renewiltord•1w ago
Haha, that was part of the joke! Pharoahs aren't from the movie either! They're a real-life thing!
Tomte•1w ago
But named after the lighthouse, as seen in its logo.

Okay, good job putting a picture right there for once, academics.
jszymborski•1w ago
This is a delightful little website.
augusteo•1w ago
One of those topics I know almost nothing about but find fascinating. Ancient engineers building a 100+ meter tower that lasted 1,500 years.
divbzero•1w ago
The extant Tower of Hercules is based on the original plans for Pharos. The Tower of Hercules stands 55 meters tall—half the height of Pharos—and has remained intact for about 2,000 years.
