Answer 2

D) the hanging of gardens of Babylon

Step-by-step explanation:

The Hanging Gardens were built in Babylon at the behest of King Nebuchadnezzar in the 6th century BC, becoming one of the main architectural works undertaken by the monarch during his reign in Mesopotamia. The work is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, although there are no records of its existence in archaeological research.

They were composed of about six terraces built as floors, giving the idea of being raised - or suspended, as its name suggests. The floors were about 120 square meters, supported by giant columns measuring up to 100 meters.

Each surface was adorned with botanical gardens that contained countless fruit trees, sculptures of the gods worshiped by the Akkadians and waterfalls, set on a rectangular plain.

Some ancient documents say that the gardens gave access to King Nebuchadnezzar's palace, which had been built to satisfy the wishes of his favorite wife, Amitis.
