The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

             The Gardens of Babylon would be the second oldest of the ancient wonders. Built in the 6th century, the gardens are long gone. Some scholars argue that the reason there's no record of them is precisely because they were gardens -- plants and flowers are living things that eventually die. Even if the structure on which the gardens were affixed remains, it could very well be in unrecognizable ruins.

              We'll start with the most popular theories about the gardens. They were likely located by the Euphrates River in what is now modern-day Iraq. This most famous and attractive garden in the world. The gardens didn't actually hang: They draped over the sides of terraces on a brick structure. Some accounts of the gardens claim that they grew as high as stone columns t (22.86 meters) in the air and that people could walk beneath them. Accounts from the classical writer Diodorus Siculus describe that the brick walls were 22 feet (6.7 meters) thick and 400 feet (121 meters) wide. And Philo wrote that there were several strata of flora and many levels of irrigation

              Whether the garden existed or not, this is how it has been described by ancient Greek sources: "The hanging garden has plants cultivated above ground level, and the roots of the trees are embedded in an upper terrace rather than in the earth. The whole mass is supported on stone columns. The grass is permanently green and the leaves of trees grow firmly attached to supple branches." Exotic flowers and plants covered the terraces. Shade came from cypresstrees  and there was a rich smell of aromatic plants and flowers in the air. Nebuchadnezzar had every kind of tree and plant you can think of

             They couldn't just turn the sprinkler on back then so how did the plants survive? One of the most amazing parts of the garden is the watering system. Water from the nearby trees and palms was lifted far into the air so it could flow down the terraces, watering the several levels of trees and flowers. This was probably done with a chain pumps. Two large wheels, connected by a chain, turned and the buckets dipped into a pool and picked up water. The chain then lifted the buckets to the upper wheel where the water was tipped into an upper pool. The empty buckets kept turning and ended up back in the bottom pool. There is no evidence to support this theory, and there's no evidence that says the garden even existed. Regardless, the garden sounds impressive. It makes you wonder, did it remind Amyitis of her home land?

Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.

                Cox's Bazar is a town, a fishing port  and district  headquarters in Bangladesh. It is known for its wide sandy beach which is the world's longest natural sandy sea beach . It is an unbroken 125 km sandy sea beach with a gentle slope. It is located 150 km south of Chittagong. Cox’s Bazar is also known by the name "Panowa", the literal translation of which means "yellow flower". Its other old name was Palongkee. The modern Cox's Bazar derives its name from Captain Cox (died 1799), an officer serving in British Indian. In the 18th century, an officer of British East India Company, Captain Hiram Cox was appointed as the Superintendent of Palongkee outpost after Warren Hastings became the Governor of Bengal.  Captain Cox was specially mobilised to deal with a century long conflict between Arakan refugees and local Rakhains.                                                                                               

        
             The Captain was a compassionate soul and the plight of the people touched his heart. He embarked upon the mammoth task of rehabilitating refugees in the area, and made significant progress. A premature death took Captain Cox in 1799 before he could finish his work. But the work he had done earned him a place in the hearts of the locals and to commemorate his role in British East India Company work a market was established and named after him as Cox's Bazaar ("Cox's Market"). Although Cox's Bazar is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Bangladesh, it has yet to become a major international tourist destination, due to lack of publicity. It is one of the most tourist destination in the world.

Symbol of love.

         History: Many architects have rated it as the most perfect of all buildings standing on earth. Three artists designed it.  they are persian,Italian and Frenchman. But the design is completely mohammedan. Even the skilled artisans who built it were brought  in from Baghdad, Constantinople, and other centers of the Muslim faith. For  22 years more than 20,000 workmen were forced to build Taj Mohol. The maharaj of joipur share the marble as a gift to Shah Jahan. In today's currency the building cost more than $200,000,000.In taj mohol tomb is the central focus of the entire complex of the taj mohol. This big, white marbel structure stands on a square plinth consists of asymmetrical building with an iwan topped by a big dome and finial. Like most mughal tombs, the basic elements are persian.  
Tourism

Out side the walls are several additional mausoleums ,including those of shah jahans  other wives, and a larger tomb for Mumtazs favorite servant.These structure's composed primarily of red sandstone, are typical of the smaller Mughal tombs of the era. The garden-facing inner sides of the wall are fronted by columned arcades, a featur typical of Hindu temples which was later incorporated into Mughal Mosque. the wall is interspersed with domed chapattis  and small buildings that may have been viewing areas or which towers like the music house, which is now used as a museum.
