The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

from History for You with Douglas and Hugh · host Douglas Wrattle, Hugh Canard

We already excavated the Great Pyramid of Giza, so it would be remiss of us not to take a look at the remaining six of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. So we did. And we have. And this is the next.Just what made the Hanging Gardens of Babylon so wondrous? What made them Hanging? Where is Babylon anyway? Did they even exist? And who got to decide the Seven Wonders anyway? So many questions...and we have the answers! Use your ears to discover the truth. And you'll also find out what's gone horribly wrong with Hugh's fingers and what Douglas was told by his therapist. In both instances, it's not pretty...------History for You with Douglas and Hugh is a spoof comedy podcast about history written, performed and produced by Adrian Mackinder and James Devonshire, with music by Mike Jones. Let us know your thoughts and suggestions for future episodes.Connect with us here:https://tinyurl.com/History4UFacebook https://tinyurl.com/History4UBlueSkyhttps://tinyurl.com/History4UInstagramAdrian and James are also published authors:The Wonder 1: Blood Redhttps://amzn.eu/d/0gk3QiqStan Lee: How Marvel Changed the Worldhttps://linktr.ee/stanleebookDeath and the Victorianshttps://linktr.ee/deathandthevictoriansAdrian is also a stand-up comedian and improvisor.
