The Motive of Research

Exclusively designed and modeled to be built as an International Hotel, a Tourism Complex or A palace in Dubai/ by DARIUSH GHASEMIAN DASTJERDI

A short history of the Hanging Gardens creation

In the ninth century BC the Assyrians achieved their independence, and at last about 745 BC under the mighty TIGLATH PILESAR III vanquished their former overlords and absorbed in their empire; the proud city of Babylon then fell from its high estate, Nineveh became the glory of Kingdom.

The triumph of Nineveh endured for rather more than a century; Medes had long been gathering in the mountains to the East … the ever rebellious Babylonians entered into a league with these Medes and in 606 BC they fell upon Nineveh and destroyed the city so utterly that until archeologists began to excavate in Modern Times all knowledge even of its site was lost!
