Perun I just watched a TV program about the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. It turns out that they weren't in Babylon at all, but were in Nineveh, now Mosul in modern day Iraq. The water was drawn from the Zagros mountains, about 100 km away, via a canal system.[/q
I watched that as well. Didn't really prove anything though. It did show a massive canal system that was a major feat of engineering but still didn't actually prove that is where the hanging gardens were. I always feel let down by that type of program as they always promise a lot and deliver very little. Maybe one day people will get to properly excavate the site and prove one way or the other. Here's hoping....
