In the 8th century BCE, The Assyrian King Sennacherib had a problem. He had all these gardens in Ninevah (near the modern city of Mosul) (some would refer to them as the “Hanging Gardens of Babylon”, one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World), but water was scarce there. To fix his problem, he had an aqueduct created to bring water from the mountains near Dohuk, 75 km away. Considering that this aqueduct predates any such Roman construction by 500 years, many consider this to be the site to be the oldest aqueduct in the world.
