<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2514494, member: 76086&quot;]Well, one needs to research the topic quite thoroughly.&nbsp; Just as an example, the Gardens of Babylon are not actually known to have existed.&nbsp; It is a concept, an idea, more a legend, passed down from one Greek author to another with no proof that they really were there (Homer anyone?).&nbsp; But, as we all know most legends have some kernel of truth to them.&nbsp; The Babylonians were not using coinage during the period some say they existed.&nbsp; But, others have said they existed all the way until the First Century or so.&nbsp; Nobody will ever know.&nbsp; But, sure, one can get coins minted in Babylon for a modest price.&nbsp; And the others?&nbsp; Who knows?&nbsp; Some of these monuments are certainly just legend, or pure stories.&nbsp; Others we do know they existed.&nbsp; You need to decide which you believe in and which you dont.&nbsp; Even if you dont believe, you can still get coins from those cities.&nbsp; Kind of like religion.&nbsp; If you have faith, there is no doubt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
