Best Answer

The lighthouse was built in the 3rd century BC. It would depend on which country you are referring to as to who was reigning at that time.

The lighthouse of Alexandria, also known as the Pharos, was built by the ancient Egyptians. Its initial construction was done under the command of Satrap (governor) Ptolemy I Soter, Egypt's first Macedonian ruler and a general of Alexander the great, and completed during the reign of his son, Ptolemy Philadelphos.
