The legendary Hanging Gardens were built for ______.
It is said that the legendary Hanging Gardens were built by Nebuchadnezzar to please his wife or concubine who had been "brought tip in Media and had a passion for mountain surroundings". "The approach to the Garden sloped like a hillside and the several parts of the structure rose from one another tier on tier...On all this, the earth had been piled and was thickly planted with trees of every kind that, by their great size and other charm, gave pleasure to the beholder. The water machines raised the water in great abundance from the river, although no one outside could see it". "Fruits and flowers...Waterfalls...Gardens hanging from the palace terraces. Exotic animals". This is the picture of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in most people’s minds. It may be surprising to know that they might have never existed except in the minds of Greek poets and historians!
As such descriptive accounts of the Gardens mostly come from Greek historians such as Berossus and Diodorus Siculus, Babylonian records stay silent on the matter. Tablets from the time of Nebuchadnezzar do not have a single reference to the Hanging Gardens, although descriptions of his palace, the city of Babyion, and the walls are found. Even the historians who give detailed descriptions of the Hanging Gardens never saw then. Modern historians argue that when Alexander’s soldiers reached the fertile land of Mesopotamia and saw Babylon, they were impressed. When they later returned to their rugged homeland, they had stories to tell about the amazing gardens and palm trees at Mesopotamia, about the palace of Nebuchadnezzar, about the Tower of Babel and the Ziggurats. And it was the imagination of poets and ancient historians that blended all these elements together to produce one of the World Wonders.
