Hanging Garden of Babylonian

Our world is full of notable and unique structures that are man-made and natural. There are
seven wonders of the world; one of them is the Hanging Garden of Babylonian.
There are some theories about the hanging garden of Babylonians; it was not built in
Babylonian. This theory was proposed by Dr. Stephanie Valley of Oxford University. The
hanging garden was built 300 miles away from Babylonian. It said that the confusion was made
because, during that time, the Ninevah was known as the New Babylonian. The claim of this
proof is King Sennacherib's descriptions of an "unrivaled palace" and a "wonder for all
peoples" in manuscripts from Nineveh. The next theory is that Hanging Garden was just a mere
myth. There is no archaeological evidence that Hanging Ganden exists in Babylonia. Still, these
days, this wonder was not resolved.
In conclusion, there are a lot of theories about the hanging garden; and there is no concrete
evidence that will prove its existence.
