Gardens of Babylon

“The man who discovered the” Hanging Gardens “in the XX century was the German scientist Robert Koldewey. One day, during excavations on the eastern bank of the Euphrates, he stumbled on some arches of the hill that hid the ruins of the royal palace. At first he thought it was strange basement, raised to the height of the multimeter. But there are no side walls are not apparent: only the pillars on which rested the vaults.
Koldewey When he saw traces of a stone well with a strange spiral shaft, it dawned on me. The literature of Babylon, contained only two references to the use of stone — for the Tower of Babel and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Thus were discovered gardens destroyed flow of the Euphrates, which during floods rises to 3-4 meters. ”
