Part 1/9:

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon and Modern Issues in Academia

The Victor Davis Hanson show delves into historical wonders and current events, bringing to light the myths of antiquity, such as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, while also analyzing the contemporary challenges faced in American universities.

The Enigma of the Hanging Gardens

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, often listed among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, have left a significant mark on historical imagination due to their uncertain existence. Previous episodes of the show have examined wonders from Greece and Turkey, including the Colossus of Rhodes and the Great Pyramid of Giza, but the Hanging Gardens stand apart as they remain largely shrouded in mystery.
