===================================
Finding Babylon's Hanging Garden
The Hanging Garden of Babylon is the only one of the seven wonders of
the ancient world for which no archaeological evidence has ever been
found. Centuries of digging have turned up nothing, and many people
assume it never existed.
But has everyone simply been looking in the wrong place? Oxford
academic Stephanie Dalley has decoded an ancient, long-overlooked text
in the British Museum and now believes that the gardens were built by
another man, in another time, in another location.
She travels to war-torn northern Iraq to gather evidence to support
her controversial new theory and try to solve this ancient mystery.
Part of Channel 4's Secret History strand, which showcases the best
historical journalism.
