    The lecturer argues that there is no concrete evidence for the Hanging Gardens of Babylon based on three key points: 1) Greek historians may not have actually visited Babylon and stories could be exaggerated, 2) Babylonians likely did not have the architectural skills or suitable building materials like clay to construct gardens, and 3) archaeological evidence of underground rooms are not convincing as sites for water pumps given the lack of irrigation systems found.

    The lecturer insists that Hanging Gardens of Babylon doesn’t have any concrete evidences.

    This
    directly contradicts the reading passage’s claim that there are ample reasons to believe they did
    exist.

    First, the lecturer states that Greek historian actually haven't been to Babylon at all. To wit, they
    were simply retelling the stories of adventure and that these tales were probably exaggerated or
    made up. This casts doubt about the reading passage's claim that Greek record has convincing
    evidence for Hanging Garden of Babylonia.

    Next, the lecturer argues that Babyonia's architectural skills wouldn't be able to establish gardens.
    It means that most of the Bablonia buildings are made of clay which is fragile for gardens that
    have to keep condition in moistrue. Therefore, clay couldn't stand for gardens. This rebuffs the
    reading passage's claim that Babylonians had great architetural skills.

    Finally, the lecturer contends that holes that had been founded by archaeologist are not the site
    of water pump. Due to the far distance from water source, elaborate irrigation system should be
    needed. However, there isn't any evidence of irrigation system, which can conclude that they
    cannot be the water pumping site This refutes the reading passage's claim that basement
    discovered by archaeologist has evidence of gardens.

    To sum up, the lecturer maintains that Hanging gardens of Babylonia is just a result of human
    imagination because of historian of Greece didn't visit to Babylonia, materials that Babyloia had
    utilized was not an adequate for gardens, and lack of evidence of irrigation system in basement.
