Who responsible to children safety?

In my own opinion, the parents are the ones who are responsible to the safety of their own children. They hold the responsibility to orient them on the dangers that a child could face such as abduction; at the same time, they should orient them on what they are capable to do to defend themselves.

Society in general is responsible, or should be.

There are specific people tasked with child safety, among other things. Such people would be police officers, social services, teachers, etc.

How many years ago was the hanging garden of Babylon built?

Herodotus was the first author to give a full description of the Hanging Gardens. According to him, the gardens were built by Nebuchadnezzar II to make his wife Amytis happy because she didn't like the Babylonian desert. She had lived in Persia, which had many plants and fountains. It was about 350 feet tall and was covered with trees, flowers, lawns, plants, fountains, pools, and miniature water falls. It had every kind of plant available in the kingdom. It was made of mud brick and stone, a series of terraces, one on top of the other. The plants couldn't survive without water, so they had to pump water from the Euphrates River to flow down through channels to the plants.

Reading Herodotus' description, you'll see that what he described was Babylon itself. If you try to sketch out the city plan as he describes it, it can be done. What's more, it's pretty accurate in relation to archaeological maps. In the plan below, Herodotus' Temple of Zeus Belos is the central and above it is his King's Palace where we'd look for the Hanging Gardens. In the early 1900's German archaeologist, Robert Koldewey traced the area where the Hanging Gardens of Babylon had been layed. Only crumbling mud brick can be seen today.

What is the diversity of religions of Arab Ashanti bantu and Swahili?

Arabs are mainly Muslim. Ashanti people have an old religion however very few practice it since the introduction of other religions by Europeans (Christianity) and Arabs (Islam). Swahili is not a tribe but it is a language spoken throughout east Africa. The language contains African language mixed with Arabic. The language differs in different east African countries like Uganda Kenya, Tanzania and others.

So here comes the question how different is it? It is like Australian English vs American English Vs British English. About the religion of Bantu. First of all Bantu is a large ethnic group consisting of hundreds of tribes. It like Europe consisting of France Bulgaria, Spain etc. Today's Africa 's diversity of religions has been decreasing due the European and Arabic influence. However, very few people still practice old traditional religions

This is an informed answer but is off base in some respects. Swahili is much more thn a language: it is a geographic area (the coast and islands from Mozambique to Somalia) and it also a culture. The Swahili culture, an amalgam mainly of African and Arab culture, with an emphasis on Islam, with contributions from others, has spread inland in some places, but remains primarily a coastal culture. There are three major dialects: Kiunguja (Zanzibar), Kimrima (the coast), and Kingwana (eastern Congo); the Mombasa area also has its dialect. Kiunguja is regarded as standard and is the version taught in schools throughout East Africa. Most Africans who speak Swahili are not Swahilis by culture, but several million are. Swahilis can be of different tribes but are widely regarded as a recognizable ethnic group.

Note: Bantu is exclusively a linguistic classification, like, say, Indo-European. It has no ethnic basis in terms of history, geography, religion, or culture.
