Archaeologists who can decipher cuneiform texts have searched through hundreds of Nebuchadnezzar's writings & found no mention of gardens whatsoever. But one such archaeologist, Oxford Uni's Dr. Stephanie Dalley, examined the writings of the Assyrian king Sennacherib, whose capital was Nineveh, a few hundred miles northwest of Babylon. Sennacherib's journal, written on an octagonal clay prism, describes his palace & garden, which he built to be "a wonder for all peoples." Thus the elusive World Wonder would be the Hanging Gardens of *Nineveh*.
it was awesome all of it helped me a lot THANKS!!!!
