For example, a room with three large, strange holes in the floor was discovered. Koldewey concluded this must have been the site of the chain pumps that raised the water to the gardens’ roof. 8 Unfortunately, there is no conclusive proof that any of the structures Koldewey found were part of the structure of the Hanging Gardens. If the gardens did exist, it took great architectural and engineering skills to create them, as well as the irrigation system that supplied the water. This is why the Hanging Gardens of Babylon are considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
To hold the remains of King Mausolus of Caria. Mausolus was the ruler of the city of Halicarnassus and surrounding territories for twenty-four years. The mausoleum was located in what is now Bodrum, on the Aegean Sea, in southwestern Turkey. 15-meter-) high tomb was built by King Mausolus’ grieving queen, Artemisia. 1 Building the Mausoleum Queen Artemisia employed five of the best sculptors of the Greek world to decorate her husband’s mausoleum. 2 The first four sculptors were each responsible for one side of the tomb.
By 1404 only the very base of the mausoleum was still recognizable. In 1494, crusaders known as the Knights of St. John of Malta, built an immense castle using blocks that they had taken from the rubble of the mausoleum. The lime mortar used to join the blocks was made out of burned marble from some of the mausoleum’s statues and columns. There have been many excavations done at the site of the mausoleum. Famous British archaeologist Sir Charles Newton excavated the site between 1856 and 1858. He discovered statues of lions that had adorned the mausoleum.
