Schau mal auf dies:
King Sennacherib's Hanging Garden was considered a World Wonder not just for its beauty – a year-round oasis of lush green in a dusty summer landscape – but also for the marvellous feats of water engineering that maintained the garden. There was a tradition of Assyrian royal garden building. King Ashurnasirpal II (883–859 BC) describes what he had done:
Zitat:I dug out a canal from the (river) Upper Zab, cutting through a mountain peak, and called it the Abundance Canal. I watered the meadows of the Tigris and planted orchards with all kinds of fruit trees in the vicinity. I planted seeds and plants that I had found in the countries through which I had marched and in the highlands which I had crossed: pines of different kinds, cypresses and junipers of different kinds, almonds, dates, ebony, rosewood, olive, oak, tamarisk, walnut, terebinth and ash, fir, pomegranate, pear, quince, fig, grapevine.... The canal water gushes from above into the garden; fragrance pervades the walkways, streams of water as numerous as the stars of heaven flow in the pleasure garden.... Like a squirrel I pick fruit in the garden of delights...
Dazu gibt's uebrigens die Theorie, die Geschichte mit der Vertreibung aus dem Garten Eden sei eine Erinnerung an das Babylonische Exil und die vorangegangene Zerstoerung des ersten Tempels in Jerusalem:

Interessant ist in dem Zusammenhang auch die zweite Erwaehnung des Garten Edens in der Bibel, bei Hesekiel, wo es ein Koenig ist, der aus dem Garten vertrieben wird.
