Find evidence of the existence of the Babylon hanging garden

The most mysterious of all the seven wonders of the ancient world is probably the Babylon hanging garden, because archaeologists have never found evidence of its existence. And the reason given is: This hanging garden is not located in Babylon .

According to ancient Greek sources, Babylon Hanging Gardens is located in the middle of a hot and barren land, lush vegetation covers the entire garden of nearly 23m high, like a flowing waterfall, exotic plants , grass flowers and sweet scent through the botanical garden adorned with columns and tall stone statues.

The Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar II, is said to have built this luxury hanging garden for his wife, Amytis, and the 6th century BC, because she missed the homeland where there were many green trees and mountains. Its fresh in Media (the area is now located in northwest Iran). To be able to revive a desert-like area, it is necessary to have the skill of cultivating wonders. According to the conjecture of scientists, plumbing, water wheels and tanks that have been thoroughly used, it is possible to transfer water from the nearby Euphrates river to the top of the garden.

Babylon hanging garden as described

The records of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon that we know today are only reproduced in centuries after this wonder was built. The first source of documentation may no longer exist. For hundreds of years, archaeologists have hunted down the ruins of this garden. Even at the beginning of the 20th century, an archaeological group in Germany took 20 years to look for signs of this mysterious ancient wonder, and of course they failed. No antiquities, signs, ruins of hanging gardens were found, a question was asked: Is this desert wonder merely a delusion of prehistoric people?

However, Dr. Stephanie Dalley, researcher at Oxford University (UK) believes that she has found evidence of the existence of this legendary wonder. In her forthcoming book, 'Babylon Hanging Gardens: unraveling the mystery of the legendary wonder ', Stephanie asserts that the ruins of Babylon's hanging garden have never been found, because of this hanging garden. At first it was absolutely not built in Babylon.

Dr. Stephanie spent a lot of time searching for hanging gardens and studying ancient texts written in cuneiform. She believed it was built in Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire, nearly 483km north of Babylon; and the builder of this wonder is the powerful Assyrian king, Sennacherib, in the early 7th century BC, not by King Nebuchadnezzar II in the 6th century BC as scholars still often think.

Dr. Stephanie was also a scholar who studied the language of Mesopotamian civilization and found this evidence in the translation of ancient documents of King Sennacherib. Accordingly, the hanging garden is a unique palace and a wonder of everyone. King Sennacherib also mentioned a bronze brass propeller - similar to the propeller that was invented four centuries later. And most likely, the ancients used this duck-leg cake to get irrigation water for the garden.

During recent excavations in Nineveh (near the modern city of Mosul in Iraq), archaeologists discovered a large and large plumbing system, used to transfer water from mountainous areas; and in particular, there were the words: 'King Sennacherib of the world . Through a very long distance, I had a source of water flowing straight to Nineveh ".

Dr. Stephanie Dally explained the reason for the confusion about the location of the garden probably because the Assyrian Empire invaded Babylon in 689 BC. After seizing, Nineveh was considered "New Babylon" , and King Sennacherib even renamed the gates based on the names of Babylon's entrances.

Dr. Stephanie's affirmation can not only defeat the thought that Babylon's hanging garden is only a product of imagination, but it also proves that this garden has been mistakenly named and should be changed to " garden." Nineveh hanging '.
