Unesco’s writing on the heritage site of the Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Worlitz reads, ‘ nowhere else in Germany or Europe had a prince brought such an all-embracing and extensive programme of landscape … ..so deeply rooted in philosophical and educational theory. …in which the landscape became the idealised world of its day….For Prince Leopold III Friedrich Franz of Anhalt-Dessau (1740-1817) and his friend and adviser Friedrich Wilhelm von Erdmannsdorff (1736-1800), the study of landscape gardens in England and ancient buildings in Italy during several tours was the impetus for their own creative programme in the little principality by the rivers Elbe and Mulde..’.
It is located in Saxony-Anhalt in the Middle Elbe Region; scholars are of the opinion that the ‘garden landscape was the integration of a didactic element, arising from the philosophy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), the thinking of Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717-1768), and the aesthetics of Johann Georg Sulzer (1720-1779). Again they say that the idea of the ferme ornée finds an expression in this garden landscape. But none of the scholars find a suitable reason why in parts of the Baroque park of Oranienbaum(also of Mosigkau), an Anglo-Chinese garden has been laid out, and along with it the churches of Riesigk (1800), Wörlitz (1804-09), and Vockerode (1810-11) are seen to have been there with the visible influence of Gothic House(of 1774).
It is very interesting to read that this Garden had its origin in the 17th c A.D., when the marriage of Leopold’s great-grandfather prince John George II of Anahalt-Dessau to the Dutch princess Henriette Catharina, daughter of prince Frederick Henry of Orange(Oranje), happened in 1659.
The name Henry marks the Chinese Han dynasty which is as same as Anu of Indian puranas and On of the Bible; it s again the same as Huns of later day historians. So name Chinese imprinted in this heritage site comes from the name of Henry itself who stood on the long hereditary royal line of of ancient Chin or Chan country; Low Country defines the geographical identity of the inhabitants of Lo or Li that pinpoints the people of Chin; Orange has its root in Anjan of Pali texts which was a part of Uden(also Aden) and Uddiyan country means the ‘Garden Country’ (Udyan means ‘Garden’). From this name of Uden and Aden or Uddiyan, the name of Garden has been derived. It marks the ancient royal house at Uden.

The most important ancient identity of the European royal families can be seen through the ‘artificial volcano’ in the island of Worlitz which not only significantly helps to look at the ancient world and the history of the ancient migrants but also it helps in identifying the biblical volcano and the biblical geography as well that marks the first-land of human civilization where the first-man appeared on earth.
This artificial volcano suggests that the Henry royal family were forced to leave their ancient homeland because of a volcanic eruption; and this remembrance made them to create an artificial volcano in their courtyard. Name Mount Visuvius is derivative of the name Vaisvanara means ‘Volcanic Fire’ whose other name is ‘Sarbato-mukha’ means ‘Face on All-sides’; its other name is ‘Badaba-agni’; this biblical volcano was near the settlements of Agni or the Yakni tribe people.
