sorry for the delay, 4/20 took priority but it was a rubbish poll in the end anyway :/  

extra q for the nerds - do you think the hanging gardens really existed as their existence still isn't known?

There could've been an incredible garden dubbed with that name, but I don't think that what we know now about it is true. It could've come from a culture's story about a majestic place that the king spread to make is life sound luxurious.

Wikipedia seems to think that the person who saw all the wonders got it confused with the gardens in Nineveh, which were of a similar construction to those described in Babylon. Shame only the pyramids actually managed to survive to the modern world really, although some awesome new stuff has replaced the ancient ones like Machu Picchu, the Taj Mahal and Angkor Wat.
