Archaeologists are trying to save one of the 7 Wonder's of the World. The 'PHAROS Project' has managed to lift 22 blocks from the Lighthouse of Alexandria which have lain on the seabed. These blocks will then be 3D scanned in the hope that a replica of the Lighthouse can be made. The Lighthouse is the longest surviving 'wonder ' dating from about 200 BCE. Hopes are that the replica can be visited.

Das Bild zeigt eine beeindruckende Sandstatue eines Gorillas, die in einem Park oder einer öffentlichen Ausstellung platziert ist. Die Statue ist sehr detailliert und zeigt das Gesicht und die Oberkörper des Gorillas mit großer Präzision. Die Textur des Sandes ist sichtbar und verleiht der Statue eine lebensechte Ausstrahlung. Der Gorilla hat einen starken, muskulösen Körperbau und eine prägnante Miene, die durch die feinen Linien und Schatten im Sand hervorgehoben wird. Im Hintergrund sind Bäume und ein Gebäude zu sehen, was auf eine natürliche Umgebung hinweist. Der Himmel ist leicht bewölkt, und die gesamte Szene wirkt ruhig und friedlich.

The image features a close-up of a hand holding a smartphone with the TikTok logo prominently displayed on the screen. The logo consists of a stylized musical note in light blue and pink, with the word "TikTok" written in white text below it. The background is a blurred American flag, with its characteristic red and white stripes and blue field with white stars. The focus is on the smartphone, with the flag serving as a backdrop, creating a visual connection between the app and the United States.
