The Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
The ancient city of Babylon in Mesopotamia under King Nebuchadnezzar must have been a beautiful wonder. It was walled with fortresses and temples with statues of gold. Rising above the city was the famous tower of Babel, a temple that seemed to reach up to the heavens.
The gardens were built by the King who ruled the City in 1605bc to cheer up his homesick wife. She came from a green, mountainous land but Babylon was flat and depressing.
The King tried to recreate her homeland with mountains, terraces, rooftop gardens and trees.
As time went on the gardens decayed and today there is nothing left but the foundations.
