This is a masterpiece work of civilization ancient Mesopotamian origin, marking the golden age of empire soup-issue, reflecting the great beauty, creativity and technology, especially computing and construction of the nation of ancient Babylon Mesopotamia, and also a magnificent architectural uniqueness. Therefore, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon was recognized as the second of the seven wonders of the ancient wonders of the human world once admired.
 Hanging Gardens is a unique project. Although known as the Hanging Gardens, but it really does not mean that it is hung up in the air, because its name is derived from the word kremastos in Greek, that is sticking out, split up. Greek geographer Strabo described the gardens in the first century BC, that "... It includes the construction of the domed top of each other, leaning on the column shape. There are depressions in, is filled with soil for planting large trees. The columns, arches and the floor was built with bricks and an asphalt ... "
 According to documents of historians such as Diodorus Siculus Greek and Berossus, the Hanging Gardens were built on a small hill, a square with 4 floors, each 25 meters high, the bottom floor area of ​​60,512 m square, located on a 625 system includes a support column (25 x 25), second floor has 441 columns (21 x 21), third floor has 289 columns (17 x 17), and on the fourth floor is 169 column (13 x 13).
 Bottom floor of the garden with each side length is 246m, the upper more narrow, to the top floor, each side length is 132m. Each floor is a garden, built by the curved test, put the big rocks 5m long, 1.2m wide on the support columns. On the stone was, it was covered with a layer of reeds mixed with asphalt, two layers of bricks, a piece of lead to water seepage from downstairs, and the top is a very thick layer of fertile soil to plant trees large. Fully fragrant gardens, grass, other rare plants are brought from areas where the king to invade. Between the floors of the hanging gardens are connected together by the very large up and down stairs.   The king to make an automatic sprinkler system hydraulic. Trees and flowers in the garden is irrigated by a system of continuous rotating bucket chain, taking water directly from rivers in-euphoria-burning pumped, helping plants flourish year round. Between wild-arid desert of Mesopotamia, but a prominent green garden, seen from a distance, the garden looks like a tree springing up in the air, but then why not call it "air park ".
 One of the romantic myth of the lovely gardens, the garden is also known as the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis . The reason, he was named because it is said that King has done Nebucatnetsa garden to make a special gift for the Queen's very own favored land the princess Medes. Nebucatnetsa king married a princess of the land Amyitis Medes, to reinforce relations between the two countries. Princess Amyitis from small to big to live in his palace with the vast royal garden, the home of her land is green, mountains, until by Nebucatnetsa of Mesopotamia, she only saw the whole sa desert sun burning vast, flat, sad, sad heart so deeply miss home. Do not want to disappoint her lover, King Nebucatnetsa for Semiramis hanging gardens set as a gift for her. The king tried to create for her lover to feel like home to live among.
 True love is the magic, the power of love can become a burning desert sun erotic lush gardens, cool, and from that love the wonders of the world's second birth.
 The one thing to wonder when this research, we must wonder, is the Hanging Gardens of Babylon is found only through the documents of the Greek historians, the ancient works of poetry, in thought of man for centuries, but in fact we found very little evidence of its existence. There is no record of any of the Babylonians have found that mention of the existence of such a real garden. When archaeologists excavated the palace of Babylon, we collected some evidence of gardens, but they do not completely prove the garden like those described were found. Nebucatnetsa kings ruled the country was 43 years passed away, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon as well as dying, but so far at the location where the legend that it was previously built the Hanging Gardens, just a big sand dune.
 The modern historians say the soldiers of Alexander the Great (circa 300 BC) have seen the Hanging Gardens had impressed them deeply. Then these soldiers return to Greece, bring the compelling story of gardens, palm trees, the magnificent palaces, towers of Babel Babylonian origin? And through the imagination of poets, painters and historians that the Greeks legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon was born, burn the writings, drawings, to make up one of the wonders old world has made people admire.
 Currently, not only archaeologists but also the progressive world are worried that the war is going on in Iraq, the majestic historical monuments of an ancient empire soup-topic can be found again will be destroyed reasonable?! Humanity may have to take time and effort to answer that question hanging gardens of Babylon is real or not?
