THe Hanging Garden

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were supposedly built by Nebuchadnezzar around 600 B.C. to please his queen, Amuhia. They are also associated with the mythical Assyrian queen Semiramis. Archeologists surmise that the gardens were laid out atop a vaulted building, with provisions for raising water. The terraces were said to rise from 75 to 300 ft.

Has anyone mentioned the Hanging Garden?
It is to be a massive garden that hangs on top of very dry desert of Iraq; it is one of the seven wonders.
