Oh yeah, back on the topic. The hanging gardens of Babylon do still exist but not nearly as big or as impressive as they used to be. I hear now it's just rubble.

Not even. If it was there was rubble, we would be able to guess what it originally looked like. But all we know about them now is from legends that have been passed down the ages.
But I agree that ancient ruins are cool. I once worked in an archeological site, digging up pottery that had not seen the light of day for over 2000 years. Most of it was just broken shards but occasionally we'd dig up a cool, patterned oil lamp.
That's what was so great about Israel; there were so many places where I could sit down and think about how my ancestors uised to sit, walk and live in that exact spot 2000+ years ago at the height of the Judean civilisation.
