The earthquake and tsunami of 1303 extinguish the Pharos

node

A major earthquake and tsunami in the eastern Mediterranean in 1303 is generally taken as the point at which the Lighthouse of Alexandria ceased to function. A further shock in 1323 destroyed most of what was left standing.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
