Nebuchadnezzar II made gardens. It created to please his love who miss her home.

Nebuchadnezzar made the gardens for the woman he loved. I suppose it was a tough thing for a muggle to do but I don't really see the big deal.

Maia comes in fresh from a shower and smelling of lemons. "Hanging gardens..." maia flips through her book quickly. "Uh ok" glancind down at the passage "Nebuchadnezzar made them for his beloved partner..." Maia nods closing the book.

Logan wonders how his turn always comes after everyone else has answered and there's nothing for him to say. He doesn't like looking ignorant.

"Nebuchadnezzar created them as a token of his love. I think they were also used as a tomb?"

To warn other people not to pick his peas and carrots? See, most people were illiterate back then, so a "no stealing the vegetables" sign would be useless. So he hung the offenders as a warning to anyone else stupid enough to try it.

I think it was a prelude to the modern scarecrow.
