The correct answers are: a, b and e.

a. Slaves powered the equipment used to move water to the top of The Hanging Gardens

b. Terraces were built so shade trees, exotic shrubs, and colorful flowers could be high up on the walls.

c. Is not correct because the Gardens were built to resemble the home town of Nabuchadnezzar’s wife, Amiyitis.

d. Metal plates were not used to reflect light to make up for the shortage of sunlight in the area, because lead plates were rather used to help preserve the brick that otherwise would have been rotten by water. There was enough sun light.

e. Fountains, pools and waterfalls were used to cool the gardens.

The Gardens of Babilon were amazing engineer constructions that King Nebuchadnezzar (605 BC) built for his homesick wife to resemble the gardens of her hometown. He used slaves to construct them. They consisted of terraces raised one above another resting upon hollow pillars filled with earth to allow trees of the largest size to flourish. The technology used to build the Gardens of Babilon included water irrigation system from Euphrates River which then had to be lifted far up so it could flow down through the terraces, watering each level of plants. This was a big engineering task because it had to include a chain pump with two large wheels, one above the other; on one chain buckets were hung and as the wheel was turned, the buckets dipped into the pool and picked up water. The chain then lifted them to the upper wheel, where the buckets were tipped.

How did the constitution divide the North and South? How were they different?

nordsb [41]

The North didn’t believe in slavery and the south did. The constitution divided them because they both believed in different things. In the South there was more plantations so they needed slaves to keep up the production when the North was cold and didn’t need much help on plantations.

Moses was chosen to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Write a paragraph to explain the qualities you think Moses possessed to un

oksian1 [2.3K]

The most important qualities that we can find in Moses are perseverance and wisdom. Over the facts we know of his life through the Bible, we can see that even being a baby, when he was left to his fate in the River Nile, his little body had to persevere beyond the inclemency of weather and hunger. Beeing a young man, he was a good son and a beloved brother within his egyptian family. Later, when he discover his Jewish origins he takes responsibility over the suffering of his own family and his people, and <em>beyond his own privileges and comforts</em> as an egiptian prince, he accepts to carry on with the demands that lay over him. Along times and events, he always persuits <em>wisdom and justice</em> and finds the way to live according to his principles and believings.
