Baby Leon's Empty Garden
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon (English: Hanging Gardens of Babylon) were built on the banks of the Euphrates River in Iraq around 600 BC. Emperor Nebuchadnezzar built it on the inspiration of his empress. First a huge foundation was built, the area of which was 800 square feet. The foundation was placed on the elaborate roof of the then Emperor's Khas Upasanalam. After laying the foundation, its height from the ground stood 80 feet. On this foundation was built the world's largest and most amazing Puspbag. 4000 workers worked day and night to build this garden. 1050 gardeners were engaged in garden maintenance. 5 to 6 thousand varieties of flowers were planted in this hanging garden. Water was raised from the river by means of thick twisted pipes to the 80 feet high steps of the garden. In 514 AD, this beautiful garden was completely destroyed in a bloody war with the neighboring Persian kingdom.
It is a hand-painted carving, probably made in the 19th century after the first excavations in the Assyrian capital, depicting the illusory hanging garden, with the Babylonian citadel behind
