Welcome to the unit
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yeah, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
For there they that carried us away in captivity, requiring of us a song. Now how shall we sing the lord’s song, in a strange land.
Let the words of our mouths, and the meditations of our hearts. Be acceptable in the sight here tonight.
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yeah, we wept, when we remembered Zion. ah…ah ah… ah.

The Greek sculptor Phidias created the 12-m (40-ft) tall Statue of Zeus in about 435 BC. The statue stood in Olympia, and was perhaps the most famous sculpture in ancient Greece. Phidias made the god’s robe and ornaments from gold and carved the body out of ivory.

This hand-coloured engraving by the 16th-century Dutch artist Martin Heemskerck depicts the fabled Hanging Gardens of Babylon.According to the tradition, the gardens did not hang, but grew on the roofs and terraces of the royal palace in Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar II, the Chaldean king, is supposed to have had the gardens built in about 600 BC as a consolation to his Median wife, who missed the natural surroundings of her homeland.
The Hanging Gardens
Ancient Babylon
It is the name of a monument located in Agra, India. It was commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his wife, Arjuman Banu Begum who was later known as Mumtaz Mahal and took 23 years to complete (1630- 1653).
The Taj Mahal
It is located in Lhasa, Tibet, was the chief residence of the Dalai Lama until the 14th Dalai Lama fled to Dharamsala after a failed uprising in 1959. In 641, Songtsan Gambo, ruler of the Tubo Kingdom, had the Potala Palace built for Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, whom he was soon to marry.
