I've just watched a Channel 4 TV documentary on the Hanging Gardens of Nineveh, Sunday 24th of November, in which an Oxford University researcher has matched a museum inscription of Sennacherib with a 100km long canal from the foothills of the Zagros mountains into the ancient metropolis of the Assyrians and the palace gardens. Seems authentic.
