Description
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
“In this palace he erected very high walks, supported by stone pillars; and by planting what was called a pensile paradise, and replenishing it with all sorts of trees, he rendered the prospect an exact resemblance of a mountainous country. This he did to gratify his queen, because she had been brought up in Media, and was fond of a mountainous situation.”
-Berossus, a Babylonian priest 290 BC
