Seven Wonders of the Ancient World

What are the seven wonders of the ancient world? We travel through Egypt, Greece, and the rest of the Mediterranean to discover seven sites that were awe-inspiring in their time, including the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Statue of Zeus.

Fun theory about the hanged gardens of Babylon. Here in Iraq we believe that the reason the king built the garden was for his wife as mentioned in the video. But why? Well, it's believed that his wife was a beautiful woman who lived in the northern regions (currently known as Kurdistan) and this region is famous of it's green nature. In Babylon which is near to the center of Iraq, was a region of dry land and deserts. Therefore the queen was really sad and the king couldn't bare to see his beloved wife like that. So he ordered to build those gardens just for her sake and the only motivation was love. Hope this was helpful

[@buzzlightyear1010]

that’s actually false because in ancient times babylon was very very green because it situated in between the tigris and euphrates river. however over time the tigris and euphrates river drifted more and more apartand dams being built in turkey made the land a desert. also the place his wife is from is known as northern iraq🙂

Regarding the largest Pyramid. The last step, the perfectly cut and shaped white stone exterior, took 25 years alone to cargo by boat. Meaning the construction took longer than 10 years.
