How to know the history of Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?
To know the history of the Seven Wonders of the World or how it was created you can visit it’s own site or even any site that focuses the history of seven wonders of the world.

Beforehand Seven Wonders of the World was originally called as seven wonders of the ancient world.

 The amazing works of art and architecture known as the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World serve as a testament to the ingenuity, imagination and sheer hard work of which human beings are capable. They are also, however, reminders of the human capacity for disagreement, destruction and, possibly, embellishment. As soon as ancient writers compiled a list of "seven wonders," it became fodder for debate over which achievements deserved inclusion. Ultimately, human hands joined with natural forces to destroy all but one of the wonders. Furthermore, it is possible that at least one of the wonders might not have existed at all. Still, all seven continue to inspire and be celebrated as the remarkable products of the creativity and skill of Earth’s early civilizations. A Seven Wonders of the Ancient World consist of:

 Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt

 Hanging Gardens of Babylon

 Temple of Artemis at Ephesus

 Statue of Zeus at Olympia

 Mausoleum at Halicarnassus

 Lighthouse of Alexandria

 Colossus of Rhodes

INFORMATION REPORT

Mausoleum Of Halicarnassus

Mausoleum, large sepulchral monument containing a chamber in which funeral urns or coffins are deposited. The name is derived from the tomb erected at Halicarnassus to King Mausolus of Caria flourished about 376-353 BC by his widow, Artemisia. It was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
By 377 B.C the city of Halicarnassus was the capitol of a small kingdom along the Mediterranean coast of Asia Minor. It was in that year the ruler of this land, Hecatomnus of Mylasa, died and left control of the kingdom to his son Mausolus. Hecatomnus, a local satrap to the Persians, had been ambitious and ha d taken control of several of the neighbouring cities and districts. Mausolus in his time, extended the territory even further so that it finally included most of southwestern Asia Minor.
Mausolus with his queen Artemisia they ruled over Halicarnassus and the surrounding territory for 24 years. Mausolus, he was descended from the local people, spoke Greek and admired the Greek way of life and government. He founded many cities of Greek design along the coast and encouraged Greek democratic traditions.
Then in 353 B.C. Mausolus died, leaving his queen Artemisia, who was also his sister broken-hearted. As a tribute to him, she decided to build him the most splendid tomb in the known world. It became a structure so famous that Mausolus's name is now associated with all stately tombs through our modern word mausoleum. The building was also so beautiful and unique it became one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Today these works of art stand in the Mausoleum Room at the British Museum. There the images of Mausolus and his queen forever watch over the few broken remains of the beautiful tomb she built for him.







EXPOSITION
Thesis Statement: Hanging Gardens of Babylon really exist.
Some historians make the case that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon actually existed. Twentieth century archaeologists began collecting evidence about unsolved questions concerning the Hanging Gardens: What was their location? What kind of irrigation system did it have? What did the Hanging Gardens actually look like? These questions are actually the stand that can prove that Hanging Gardens of Babylon really existed.
Recent archaeological digs at Babylon have unearthed a major palace, a vaulted building with thick walls (perhaps the one mentioned by Greek historians), and an irrigation well in proximity to the palace. Although an archaeological team surveyed the palace site and presented a reconstruction of the vaulted building as being the actual Hanging Gardens, accounts by Strabo place the Hanging Gardens at another location, nearer the Euphrates River. Other archaeologists insist that since the vaulted building is thousands of feet from the Euphrates, it is too distant to support the original claims even if Strabo happened to be wrong about the location. The latter team reconstructed the site of the palace, placing the Hanging Gardens in a zone running from the river to the palace. Interestingly, on the banks of the Euphrates, a newly discovered, immense, 82-foot thick wall may have been stepped to form terraces like those mentioned by the ancient Greek sources.
The Greek historian Diodorus Siculus gave one of the best accounts of the site:
The approach to the Garden sloped like a hillside and the several parts of the structure rose from one another tier on tier. On all this, the earth had been piled…and was thickly planted with trees of every kind that, by their great size and other charm, gave pleasure to the beholder. The water machines [raised] the water in great abundance from the river, although no one outside could see it.
Other ancient historians gave additional details:
The Garden is quadrangular, and each side is four plethra [one hundred Greek feet] long. It consists of arched vaults which are located on checkered cube-like foundations. The ascent of the uppermost terrace-roofs is made by a stairway (Strabo).
The Hanging Garden has plants cultivated above ground level, and the roots of the trees are embedded in an upper terrace rather than in the earth. The whole mass is supported on stone columns. Streams of water emerging from elevated sources flow down sloping channels. These waters irrigate the whole garden saturating the roots of plants and keeping the whole area moist. Hence the grass is permanently green and the leaves of trees grow firmly attached to supple branches. This is a work of art of royal luxury and its most striking feature is that the labor of cultivation is suspended above the heads of the spectators (Philo of Byzantium).
Locations site, description and characteristics state by the ancient historians and even our archeologists prove that Hanging Gardens of Babylon really exist and a best qualification for the Ancient Wonders of the world.

EXPLANATION
Hanging Garden of Babylon as one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, also known as the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis, near present-day Al Hillah, Babil in Iraq, are considered to be one of the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. They were built by the Chaldean king Nebuchadnezzar II around 600 BC. He is reported to have constructed the gardens to please his sick wife, Amytis of Media, who longed for the trees and fragrant plants of her homeland Persia. The gardens were destroyed by several earthquakes after the 2nd century BC.
