Awkward sentence & more info
This opening sentence is awkward:
- The Hanging Gardens of Babylon (also known as the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis) and the walls of Babylon were considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Were the gardens and the walls together one wonder or were they two seperate wonders? The sentence doesn't make it clear.
Since this was one of the wonders of the ancient world, shouldn't it have more information? The illustrations are great, but shouldn't we have more descriptions of the gardens themselves? I know this topic is more extensive than what we currently have. I'd write it myself but I am not an expert in this area. — Frecklefoot | Talk 14:15, Jul 14, 2004 (UTC)
First of all, i think the main question is, did the gardens even exist? The main answer I had gotten was, "maybe", and "yes". The sites that had said "yes" backed it up with info from greek writers, which described the wonder. However, none of the websites have a full blown, 3-d view of the place... I would really like a site, that could show the entire site.
