Dear illycatsupergalactic-ga, The only descriptions we have of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon appear in the writings of some Greek poets and historians, but even then, the gardens existence is disputed. There is no archaeological evidence which supports their existence, although some claim the outside walls may have been found. This excellent website by Pippin Michelli examines the evidence relating to the gardens. It includes extracts from the original sources and images. I recommend that you examine it in its entirety. http://www.plinia.net/wonders/gardens/index.html This question has already been asked here on Google Answers and I refer you to the descriptions and sources given in that answer. http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=303896 Additional discussion and sources. http://library.thinkquest.org/C0125521/_babylon.htm http://ce.eng.usf.edu/pharos/wonders/gardens.html As for their recreation. The descriptions are very general so you can be fairly creative without fear of criticism. This site contains many artists? impressions of the gardens and may give you some ideas. http://joseph_berrigan.tripod.com/id14.html I hope this answers your question. If it does not, or the answer is unclear, then please ask for clarification of this research before rating the answer. I shall respond to the clarification request as soon as I receive it. Thank you answerfinder |
