When we think of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, we often imagine towering monuments built by powerful kings. But did you know that two of these wonders are linked to remarkable women rulers? In a time when the world was predominantly male-dominated, these extraordinary queens left legacies that continue to inspire.

1. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon: A Queen’s Touch 🌿
According to some ancient traditions, the lush Hanging Gardens of Babylon were created by Queen Semiramis of Assyria, a semi-legendary figure celebrated for her wisdom and boldness. Also known as the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis, these gardens reflect the power of a woman’s vision. Although the exact location remains a mystery, and some debate its existence, Queen Semiramis’s association with the gardens highlights her enduring legacy in history and mythology.

2. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus: A Tribute of Love 🏛️
Queen Artemisia II of Caria didn’t just mourn her husband Mausolus—she built one of the ancient world’s greatest wonders in his memory. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was more than just a tomb; it was a monumental expression of love, devotion, and architectural brilliance. Standing 148 feet tall, it defines the term “mausoleum.”

These queens remind us of the strength and influence women have wielded throughout history. Every woman has the power to make a lasting impact—whether by creating something extraordinary or embracing the beauty in everyday life. ✨ Squeem celebrates that power, helping you feel and look your best, and embrace every moment with the grace of a queen. 👑
