Summary edit

Description
English: Pleasure gardens were associated with abundance, fertility and sanctity. Here, a gently sloping garden is shaded by trees and watered by streams stocked with fish. Water flows from an aqueduct creating channels that cut across the lush slopes and a path leading to a pavilion. This park was created by the Assyrian king Sennacherib (ruled about 705–681 BC), who built an immense canal network for his capital city, Nineveh, partly to supply his new gardens. Gardeners nurtured species that normally would not have grown alongside each other. Then, as now, gardens were planned to be enjoyed by later generations. This wall relief depicts the same gardens in their mature state during the reign of Sennacherib's grandson King Ashurbanipal.
Español: Jardines exóticos: Los jardines ornamentales se asociaban a la abundancia, la fertilidad y la santidad. Aquí hay un jardín en una pendiente suave, con árboles que dan sombra y regado por riachuelos llenos de peces. El agua brota de un acueducto y crea canales que atraviesan las exuberantes pendientes y un caminito que conduce a un pabellón. Este parque fue creado por el rey asirio Senaquerib (que gobernó del 705 al 681 a. C.), quien construyó una inmensa red de canales en su capital, Nínive, en parte para abastecer sus nuevos jardines. Los jardineros cuidaban con esmero de especies que normalmente no habrían crecido unas al lado de las otras. Entonces, como ahora, se planeaban jardines para el disfrute de las generaciones futuras. Este relieve de pared representa los mismos jardines en estado de madurez durante el reinado del nieto de Senaquerib, el rey Asurbánipal.
