Egyptin/egyptiläiset muistomerkit/monumentit
Explanation:
In Finnish actually anything big can be called 'monumentti' and any memorial structure is called 'muistomerkki'

So you can tell "Faroksen majakka oli mahtava monumentti ja tässä on sen muistomerkki" (The Lighthouse/Pharos of Alexandria was a monumental building and here stands it memorail).
