Curated by ACT

The author of this blog entry discusses the theory that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon mentioned in the Bible and generally attributed to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon may have actually been built by King Sennacherib of Assyria at his palace in Nineveh. Dr. Stephanie Dalley from Oxford University pursued this idea for many years and her findings and conjectures are described.
