The Blogger's Garden

Not much growing there now, but the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were one of the world's seven wonders.

What are the Seven Wonders of the World? Think fast. Well, if you think you knew, you might want to reconsider. Ok, so there really isn’t just one list of wonders. The best-known lists are those of the 2nd-century-BC writer Antipater of Sidon and of a later but unknown observer of the 2nd century BC who claimed to be the mathematician Philon of Byzantium. Included on the list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were: the Pyramids of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Pharos of Alexandria.
