In the myths of the ancient Greeks, it is told that the Syrian goddess Dreado made a daughter and left that in the mountains. The girl was helped to survive pigeons, mined food, and her upbringing was given shepherds. Semiramid first was the wife of the king adviser, but soon her status was changed.

And the famous healing gardens of semi -ramides did not have any relation to the Shammuram, as they were created in the 6th century BC to our era King Nebuchadnezzar for the spouse.
Biography Tsaritsa
Researchers disagree in opinions, discussing the biography of Queen Assyria. There are two common versions. According to the first seminary - the daughter of the goddess of Dreado and the simple mortal, left alone and saved thanks to the birds. The shepherds handed it to the warden of the royal herds, and the chief manager fell in love with the girl. Semiramid was distinguished by a militant character. The history of the life of the future queen is rich in feats. Tsar Ning wasveling to take her to his wife, but since the legitimate spouse Semiramids did not agree to give up, took the woman with force, blinding her husband.

In 92 years she found out that his own son wishes her death. Coming out on the terrace of the royal chambers, she turned into a diet and left the palace.
According to the alternative version of Semieramide, the King Assyria was courtly in the palace. She gained the arrangement of the ruler and became his chosen. One day, the spouses argued whether a woman could rule the country for five days. Having received power, the warrior put her husband in custody and rose at the head of state, distinguished by the conquests and gardens, built on the coast of Euphrate.
Despite the mythology of both versions, the gardens were a real building. They witched through river water and a specially designed system. The remains of the famous gardens were found during the excavations of the German group of archaeologists under the leadership of the Koldy. There are still disputes about who became the creator of a miracle of the world - the rulers of early years or the wife of Nebuchadnezzar.
