Listen now
Description
In this episode of "Time Travelers Guide to Ancient History", we're teleporting to the mysterious Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Picture an oasis in the desert, a lush, green, mountain-like structure filled with exotic plants, cascading water, and a story that's as elusive as Bigfoot. We delve into the tales of King Nebuchadnezzar II, who might have built this wonder to soothe his homesick wife, Amytis. We'll explore the marvel of ancient engineering that supposedly kept this garden alive and question why, despite all the stories, no one has ever found the remains of the gardens. Join us as we unravel the mystery of this lost wonder of the ancient world. This podcast was generated using artificial intelligence. Music credit goes to "Renaissance" by Audionautix.
