The HangingGardens ofBabylon areconsidered to be

one of theoriginal Seven

Wonders of theAncient World.They were built

in theancient city-

state ofBabylon,near present-dayAl Hillah, Babil, in Iraq. They are sometimes called

the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis (in reference to the legendary QueenSemiramis).

The gardens were supposedly built by theBabylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II around 500 BC. He is reported to

have constructed the gardens to please his homesick wife, Amytis ofMedia,who longed for the trees and fragrant plants of her homeland. The gardens

were destroyed by several earthquakes after the 2nd century BC.

The Temple of Artemis (Greek: Artemision), also known lessprecisely as theTemple ofDiana', was a Greek temple dedicated to agoddess Greeks identified as Artemis and was one of the Seven Wonders of

the Ancient World. It was situated at Ephesus (near the modern townofSeluk in present-day Turkey), and was completely rebuilt three timesbefore its eventual destruction in 401.[1]Only foundations and sculpturalfragments of the latest of the temples at the site remain.

The first sanctuary (temenos) antedated the Ionic immigration bymany years, and dates to the Bronze Age.Callimachus, in his Hymn toArtemis, attributed it to the Amazons. In the seventh century the old

temple was destroyed by a flood. Its reconstruction began around 550 BC,under the Cretan architect Cher siphron and his son Metagenes, at theexpense ofCroesus ofLydia: the project took some 120 years to complete,only to be destroyed in an act of arson by a young arsonist seeking famenamed Hero stratus. It was later rebuilt.
