Chapter 261 The Palace of Babylon
Chapter 261 The Palace of Babylon
The entire Babylon was built in the style of the ancient Babylonian city. Looking at the majestic buildings with magnificent walls and magnificent palaces, everyone stepped into this private city called Babylon, and everyone developed a way to travel through time and space, and came to the ancient Babylonian city of the Euphrates River from north to south.
The main buildings in the city, Esagina Temple and the Etmelankita Temple, belonging to it, are as high as 91 meters. Each side of the base is 91.4 meters long and there are 7 floors on it. Each floor is made of glazed bricks of different colors. There is a temple built with glazed bricks on the top of the tower that worships the golden statue of Makduk. It is said that this is the language of the Lord in the Bible that disturbs people, causing people to fail to create the tower of Babel that is heavenly.
The "Goddess Gate", one of the essences of ancient buildings in the city, is 12 meters high and nearly 20 meters wide. The door wall is inlaid with vivid glaze animal patterns. Not only that, this also has a completely imitation and recreation of the "Air Garden" known as the Seven Wonders of the World.
The "Air Garden" of Babylon, also known as the "Hanging Garden", nestled on the banks of the Euphrates River. Nebuchadnezzar II (604-562 BC) was famous for building magnificent cities and palaces. During his reign, he presided over the construction of this famous garden.
According to legend, he married the Persian princess Semiramis as his concubine. The princess missed her hometown with lush flowers and trees day and night, and was depressed. In order to please her beloved concubine, the king ordered a garden of up to 25 meters high in the capital Babylon. This garden adopts a three-dimensional gardening technique, overlapping layers on the high platform, planting strange flowers and plants layer by layer, and irrigation water sources and water pipes were buried. The garden was surrounded by high walls inlaid with many colorful lions. The princess was very happy when she saw it. Because she looked like she was hanging in the air from a distance, it was also called the "Air Garden".
Although the "Air Garden" of the Emil's family is not a real "Air Garden". However, the architectural style and unique architectural techniques have indistinguishable views from the real "Air Garden".
Crossing the "Goddess Gate" means officially entering modern Babylon. The first thing you see is the 120 stone lions on both sides of the celebration avenue in the "Goddess Gate".
After walking through these 120 stone lions, I wanted to pass through the rise and fall of Babylonian civilization. The feeling of traveling through time and space in everyone's hearts became even stronger, as if they were dreaming.
Anyway, just standing here will be shocked.
This is a magnificent city with tall walls around the city. The walls are as high as towers, with a width of four carriages passing by side. Emil's father Xerxefa also built gorgeous palaces and temples in the city. Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the "Air Garden".
Do you know what an aerial garden is? It is a garden supported by columns. It is built on many tall columns to fill soil, and plant various beautiful flowers and plants. From a distance, this beautiful garden is like hanging in the air, so it is called the "aerial garden".
What is the Babylonian sky garden like? Is it a garden hanging in the sky? Is there really such a garden?
Legend has it that a garden floating in the air appeared in the ancient Babylonian Kingdom, which was like the giant statue of Rhodes Island, and archaeologists have not yet found its true location. In fact, most of the people who depict the aerial garden have never entered Babylon, only knowing that there is a wonderful garden in the east, which the king of Persia calls heaven, and when the two make do with each other, a dream garden in the distant Babylon was formed. In fact, in the Babylonian text records, it itself is a mystery, and none even mentioned the aerial garden.
Of course, the Babylonian sky garden (hanging gardens of babylon) is not hanging in the air. This name is purely derived from the Greek word paradeisos. In fact, the literal translation of paradeisos should be translated as "trapezoidal high platform". The so-called "sky garden" is actually a garden built on "trapezoidal high platform". The Greek paradeisos (sky garden) later transformed into English paradise (paraise).
The Sky Garden is built in the center of the Palace Square. It is a quadrilateral body. It stacks mounds of 400 meters in height and 15 meters high. Each platform is a garden, supported by arched stone pillars, and the steps are covered with stone slabs, reeds, asphalt, hard bricks and lead plates. The purpose is to prevent the leakage of moisture from the upper layer. At the same time, the soil layer of the soil is also thick enough to make the big trees take root. Although the upper platform is only about 60 square feet, the height is 105 meters (equivalent to a 30-story building), so it looks like a small hill from a distance.
At the same time, a large sink is built on the top of the garden, and the appropriate amount of water is supplied to the plants at any time through the water pipes. Sometimes, artificial rain is also reduced by water sprayers; in the low-lying part of the garden, many rooms are built, and dripping water curtains can be seen from the portal. Even in the hot summer, it feels very cool. In the land where long-term flat and dry years of drought, an amazing oasis appears.
Too magic, so wonderful, so beautiful!
Although it is not a real sky garden, the scenery is really amazing. Moreover, there is no modern technology here. Everything uses the most primitive construction of human beings. Even the transportation in the city uses carriages. It can be seen that Emil's father worked so hard to recreate Babylon.
Not to mention anything else, looking at this city made of stone, it is not an exaggeration to call it a miracle created by stone.
So when everyone browsed the city, they felt a sense of amazement and stunning. With this feeling, everyone walked into the palace and saw all kinds of people wearing ancient Babylonian costumes in the huge palace, waiting quietly there. At this time, everyone who had always felt that something was missing finally understood what was causing the discord.
Just when everyone was guessing this feeling, a team of palace maids brought their clothes directly to him.
Yes, it was clothes. Everyone traveled through time and space to the depths of the glorious Babylonian civilization. The beach suits and suits they wore were really disproportionate to the scene at this time. So when the palace maids brought them up with them, everyone immediately went to the special royal locker room to change their clothes.
There were great differences in clothing between the ancient Assyrians, Uraltus, Babylonians, Alminians, Egyptians, Persians, etc., but no matter how big the difference was, they all had one thing in common. That is, because of the influence of geography, climate, and environment, clothing was designed with fabrics around the body.
For example, ancient Egypt mainly used block-type clothing, which was made of gold as jewelry, giving people a very luxurious feeling. The Babylonian clothing characteristics began to be entangled, and when it developed into the Assyrian Empire, it was replaced by tassel clothing.
The materials of this tassel clothing are mainly wool and linen. During the Babylonian and Assyrian Empires, the basic style of clothing was not very complicated. All countries wore tight long clothes and large scarves. The "Kandys" clothing was frequently decorated with tassels. The main feature of the clothing during this period was the use of tassel twill decoration and the weaving method of carpets or embroidery to make patterns. The "Kandys" clothing was wrapped around the body and tied tightly around the waist, forming uneven and staggered layers on the body, making it complex and luxurious.
However, this place does not adopt the characteristics of the early Babylonian tangled clothing, nor does it adopt the characteristics of the tassel clothing from the Assyrian Empire, but uses the clothing styles of the ancient Persian Empire.
During the Persian Empire, the Persian Empire concentrated highly developed cultures in a vast region and integrated them into each other, thus having a long and brilliant achievement of ancient Persian culture and art. Its clothing reached a very high level, which had a great influence on the later Western clothing culture. The ancient Persians had excellent techniques for tailoring clothes. The basic style of clothing was to wear tight-fitting upper body, and the knee-length clothing was also called "Candis", wearing tight trousers underneath, short boots in trousers, and felt hats on the head. Women wore tight clothes, flared skirts underneath, and long tassels on the hem of the skirt. Persian fabrics showed many geometric patterns or rose-shaped patterns, with bright colors, yellow, brown, blue, and purple.
It looks beautiful, sexy, and gorgeous.
When everyone changed into this simple, convenient and very suitable for movement, when they stepped into the hall again, the feeling of traveling through time and space became even stronger. The girls were chattering one by one, and even a few mm around Zhou Zhenhua were surrounded by Zhou Zhenhua and asked if it looked good.
It is undeniable that these mms are really sexy. They wear costumes from the Persian Empire, and the noble, sexy and gorgeous feeling is integrated with the beauty of oriental women. It really makes Teacher Xiao Zhou feel very moved, and he actually feels like he wants to push these mms down immediately.
But everyone knows that Teacher Xiao Zhou is more rational than impulsive. He naturally coughed and let go of this chaotic thoughts.
It was Yi Feng, and he pulled the thing on his body for a while, and then another thing on his body. He shook his body without feeling very comfortable and said, "Tsk, Xerxefa hasn't seen him for so many years, and he still pretends to be like this. Anyone who comes to him must wear ancient Persian clothes. It's really annoying!"
Zhou Zhenhua laughed secretly. Yi Feng said it well, but he followed the local customs and it was hard for Teacher Xiao Zhou to say anything. In addition, his parents, even Zuo Sheng changed into such clothes. Will Teacher Xiao Zhou dare to resist?
Just as everyone was teasing Yi Feng in a word, the carefully dressed Emil and his father Xerxefa came.
On the spot, when Zhou Zhenhua saw Emil for the first time, he was immediately amazed!!!
