THE Hanging Gardens of Babylon were the fabled gardens which beautified the capital of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, built by its greatest king Nebuchadnezzar II (r. 605-562 BCE). One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, they are the only wonder whose existence is disputed amongst historians.

Some scholars claim the gardens were not in Babylon but actually at Nineveh, capital of the Assyrian Empire, while others stick with the ancient writers and await archaeology to provide positive proof. Still others believe the gardens are merely a figment of the ancient imagination. Archaeology at Babylon itself and ancient Babylonian texts are silent on the matter, but ancient writers describe the gardens as if they were at Nebuchadnezzar's capital and still in existence in Hellenistic times. The exotic nature of the gardens compared to the more familiar Greek items on the list and the mystery surrounding their location and disappearance have made the Hanging Gardens of Babylon the most captivating of all the Seven Wonders.

Paul's Seven Wonders of the Modern Word - The Taco

The first seven wonders were the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World*. They were called they were: seven of them, were wonders, and were around during the times of the ancient world. Presumably there were wonders around hundreds of millions of years ago. The world back then teemed with nothing more than the odd virus colony. Unfortunately, the ancient virus never left any written record. And if…

“The Tower of Babel. The Stele of Hammurabi. Hammurabi in general. Those are the three things I could say I knew about Babylon with confidence. I mean, listen. Ancient Babylonia was an incredibly important city, one that flourished from the 2nd millennium BC to the early 1st millennium alongside Ancient Egypt.”

Time Travel Question

Remember, nothing that would substantially change history. Pleasure only.

This is one of the largest hanging baskets I've ever seen. Of course, the landlord can afford it - welcome to Vancouver's financial district. When the first tower (on the right) opened on Burrard Street in 1967, at 22 stories, it dominated the downtown skyline. Now it's just another boring, 'ultra-modern office block', amongst a crowd of later arrivals. However, this building does have one redeeming feature - this beautiful hanging basket out front. I think it's a floral masterpiece!

Each of the seven syllables is a Hanging Garden. The Babylonian Manifold, a hyperverdant heptasyllabic sphere.
