The Temple of Artemis was a large Greek temple. It was a large 64,800 square feet which is one-and-one-eighth football fields.  It is 65 feet, making it 17 feet shorter than The Hanging Gardens. It is surprising, that a temple with that

much square footage is shorter  than this garden.  Moving on, it took about 10 years to finish this; only for it to be destroyed many times

     Both the Temple of Artemis and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon included water functions.  After the first temple was destroyed they added fountains in front of the temple.  The fountains were roaring lions that had water pouring out of their months. They probably because Artemis was the goddess of the hunt and had powerful hunting dogs. Her hunting dogs even had the ability to hunt lions.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon used the water for the plants, of course.  There were channels to bring in water from the river.  They also, since the river was at a lower elevation than the gardens, had screws they would turn to lift the water up into the gardens

The gardens were first documented by Babylonians, but then later by Greeks in detail. These reports had differences but all in all they both said that there were plants everywhere in these gardens. In a document it says that, as we know, a king built it to cure his queen’s homesickness.  From what information we have we can say this wonder was built for love while others were built for glory. 

    The temple was first recorded by a Roman writer. This was when the first one was  destroyed and second one rebuilt.  This is when a statue of Artemis was Unlike the Hanging Gardens this temple was built for glory, and was built to honor the goddess so the city would be blessed with good hunting.

       Each of these wonders had simple machines.  For the temple they used them to build, and for the gardens they used to keep it working.  To build the temple they didn’t use any simple machines until the very end.  They used ramps made of sandbags to get the huge blocks of marble a bit above where they needed it to be.  Then they deflated the sandbags at the bottom until the block met its point.   For the gardens they used screws to lift the water up into the gardens by having someone turn the screw in the river, then on the next level another person would turn their screw to get the water up then on and on until the reached channels.

       Neither of these wonders lasted very long.  Each of the Temples of Artemis were destroyed a few years after being built. These destructions were both human and natural destructions. During an earthquake the foundations to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon broke and everything toppled over.  Now, this one was just a natural cause. These wonders were beautiful sights when they were still intact, but unfortunately they were demolished.

        This was one of the most  historical Babylonian creation it was made out of red bricks, but these did not hold up well against some of the plants force from the roots. Each time they would have a meal they would take the vegetables and fruit they didn’t eat and put it in the soil for the worms for the plant’s health.   
     Out of all the Greek temples  this one was one of the largest. This building was made completely out of marble. That’s over one thousand tons of marble. This is one reason why they were running out of resources while they were trying to rebuild.
