Description
Did the Hanging Garden of Babylon actually exist or was it myth?
And why bother talking about it in this podcast?
Because apart from whether or not the Garden existed, or more importantly where it was located, the story of its history is fascinating.
But even more fascinating is the extraordinary engineering achievement that may have underpinned its very existence.
