The hanging gardens brought a radical change in the Babylonian life. Some stories indicate the Hanging Gardens towered hundreds of feet into the air, but archaeological explorations indicate a more modest, but still impressive, height. In the heart of the desert, the gardens had all kinds of plants and trees and a number of animals.

What was evryday life like for a teen slave in Babylon 605 BC?
Right off let's get one point straight and that is there were no "teens" in history. This term and age didn't exist until 1940. So, anyone who was beyond a baby was treated as an adult. Children at 7 or 8 began a life of work and most people were dead by the time they were 25. Life was short and hard. A slave's life was even harder and shorter. They worked endless days, were fed very little, and could be beaten if they didn't respond as it was thought they should have. This would have been the life of your "teen."

What was the Babylonians contribution in math?
The Babylonian system of mathematics was sexagesimal (base 60) numeral system. From this we derive the modern day usage of 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 360 degrees in a circle. The Babylonians were able to make great advances in mathematics for two reasons. Firstly, the number 60 is a superior highly composite number, having factors of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60 (including those that are themselves composite), facilitating calculations with fractions. Additionally, unlike the Egyptians and Romans, the Babylonians had a true place-value system, where digits written in the left column represented larger values (much as in our base ten systems: 734 = 7×100 + 3×10 + 4×1). The Sumerians and Babylonians were pioneers in this respect.
