Best Answer

The hanging gardens of Babylon are believed to be one of the seven wonders of the world. It is believed that the hanging gardens of Babylon were built because Nebuchadnezzar II wanted to cheer up his wife after she had to leave an area filled with green grass and hillsides.

A chain pump is two large wheels, one above the other, connected by a chain. On the chain are hung buckets. Below the bottom wheel is a pool with the water source. As the wheel is turned, the buckets dip into the pool and pick up water. The chain then lifts them to the upper wheel, where the buckets are tipped and dumped into an upper pool. The chain then carries the empty ones back down to be refilled.

The pool at the top of the gardens could then be released by gates into channels which acted as artificial streams to water the gardens. The pump wheel below was attached to a shaft with planks jutting out from it to form the steps of treadmill powered by gangs of slaves working in shifts.
