**__The Hanging Gardens of Babylon __**  The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World .

The Garden of Babylon was on the east bank of Euphrates River , about 50 kms south of Baghdad,  [|Iraq].

A <span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">curious fact <span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">is <span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">that King <span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Nabucodonosor ordered the construction of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, because his wife was homesick for the mountains where she was born. <span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">In reality, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were not “hanging”. The name comes from a Greek translation kremastos shoddy or pensilis Latin expression that means excel. <span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">The image of the gardens is impressive not only for its beauty, but also for the engineering feat of supplying the massive, raised gardens with soil and water. <span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">The gardens were rumored to be about 400 feet wide, 400 feet long, and over 80 feet high. Some historians believe the gardens were built in a series of platforms that all together were 320 feet high. There were paths and steps and fountains and gorgeous flowers, all build to make a homesick queen feel welcomed and loved. <span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">The Garden consists of arched vaults which are located on checkered cube-like foundations. The ascent of the uppermost terrace-roofs is made by a stairway...  <span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">The Hanging Garden have plants cultivated above ground level, and the roots of the trees are embedded in an upper terrace rather than on the earth. The whole mass is supported on stone columns... Streams of water emerging from elevated sources flow down sloping channels... These waters irrigate the whole garden saturating the roots of plants and keeping the whole area moist. Hence the grass is permanently green and the leaves of trees grow firmly attached to supple branches.

<span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">This is a work of art of royal luxury and its most striking feature is that the labor of cultivation is suspended above the heads of the spectators.
