Big terraces with plants that hang 50 metres from the floor. The columns hold the terraces columns made of land, stone or hollowed. This gardens are so tall because of the area that was surrounded by mountains.

The historian Filón of Bizancio describe this place like this:The Hanging gardens conteined plants cultivated over the floor level and the roots of the trees tangled up in the tall terraces.It was a humid place. Now people call this wonder of the world a ziggurat.

The hanging gardens in reality didn’t hang, and they are called like this because it comes from the word kremastos in greek and pensilis in latin but this refers protrude.
