This BBC documentary looks at possible engineering techniques for watering the legendary `Hanging Gardens of Babylon'. It is suggested that the `Hanging Gardens of Babylon' were actually Sennacherib's gardens at [the Assyrian capital] Nineveh. Furthermore, it is suggested that Archimidean screws cast in bronze were the method for watering the gardens.
