The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World whose location has never been confirmed. In this episode, Lucas and Luna sift through the classical accounts by Berossus, Diodorus Siculus, and Strabo, the archaeological evidence from the palace of Nebuchadnezzar II, and the controversial theory that the gardens were actually built at Nineveh by the Assyrian king Sennacherib. They discuss the technical challenges of irrigating a terraced garden in a dry climate, the meaning of the Greek word 'kremastos', and the tantalizing clues left in cuneiform texts. Was it a real structure, a poetic invention, or a case of mistaken identity? Join the conversation as they explore one of history's most enduring puzzles. #HangingGardens #Babylon #SevenWonders #NebuchadnezzarII #Sennacherib #Nineveh #Berossus #DiodorusSiculus #Strabo #Mesopotamia #Iraq #AncientHistory #Archaeology #Cuneiform #Assyria #HangingGardensOfBabylon #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
