A reference to the Babylonian civilization,admired,imagination first and foremost is "hanging gardens." It is known as one of the seven wonders of the world.
Hanging Gardens of Babylon,of course,have never been hung in the air,the origin of the name is simply because people have to replace the original addition to "hanging",there are "outstanding" in the Greek meaning "kremastos" and the Latin "pensilis" Error Translation result.
For thousands of years,the "sky garden" has a beautiful legend.Neo-Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II (Nebuchadrezzar II,reigned 605 BC - 562 BC) married the princess m m at the end of Curtis as a queen.Beautiful Princess Keren,won the King's favor.However,over time,Princess sad gradually Health.Nebuchadnezzar I do not know why.Princess said:"My home mountain Emerald,plants profusion.And here is the endless plains of Babylon,and even a small hill can not be found,how I desire to be seen in our hometown and the winding mountain trails ah!"

注：
一提到巴比伦文明,令人津津乐道、浮想联翩的首先是“空中花园”.它被誉为世界七大奇迹之一.
巴比伦的空中花园当然从来都不是吊于空中,这个名字的由来纯粹是因为人们把原本除有“吊”之外,还有“突出”之意的希腊文“kremastos”及拉丁文“pensilis”错误翻译所致.
千百年来,关于“空中花园”有一个美丽动人的传说.新巴比伦国王尼布甲尼撒二世(Nebuchadrezzar II,在位605 BC - 562 BC)娶了米底的公主米梯斯为王后.公主美丽可人,深得国王的宠爱.可是时间一长,公主愁容渐生.尼布甲尼撒不知何故.公主说：“我的家乡山峦叠翠,花草丛生.而这里是一望无际的巴比伦平原,连个小山丘都找不到,我多么渴望能再见到我们家乡的山岭和盘山小道啊!”原来公主得了思乡病.于是,尼布甲尼撒二世令工匠按照米底山区的景色,在他的宫殿里,建造了层层叠叠的阶梯型花园,上面栽满了奇花异草,并在园中开辟了幽静的山间小道,小道旁是潺潺流水.工匠们还在花园中央修建了一座城楼,矗立在空中.巧夺天工的园林景色终于博得公主的欢心.由于花园比宫墙还要高,给人感觉像是整个御花园悬挂在空中,因此被称为“空中花园”,又叫“悬苑”.当年到巴比伦城朝拜、经商或旅游的人们老远就可以看到空中城楼上的金色屋顶在阳光下熠熠生辉.所以,到公元2世纪,希腊学者在品评世界各地著名建筑和雕塑品时,把“空中花园”列为“世界七大奇观”之一.从此以后,“空中花园”更是闻名遐迩.
令人遗憾的是,“空中花园”和巴比伦文明其他的著名建筑一样,早已湮没在滚滚黄沙之中.我们要了解“空中花园”,只能通过后世的历史记载和近代的考古发掘.
