Lost World of the Hanging Gardens

PBS: Wednesday 16 April at 8:15pm

Once it was the world’s largest and most important city – now it is being rediscovered. Nineveh is one of the great lost cities. Why did it disappear? Could it be the site of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the last lost wonder of the ancient world? By mixing moving human stories with remarkable archaeological finds, this film shows how new discoveries are helping Iraqis reclaim their history. It uncovers the most complete picture ever of one of the greatest past civilisations, the world’s first genuine superpower: the Assyrians.

A dramatic, engaging and inspiring story of archaeology, history and the human spirit, all set against the backdrop of a nation rebuilding after war.
