More about The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were one of the seven wonders of the ancient world near present-day Hillah, Babil. The magnificent structure had an ascending series of tiered gardens with a variety of trees, plants, and shrubs, all of which were placed in a perfectly scientific arrangement.
Though there is no scientific proof, legends say that The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were built by the Neo-Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II for his wife Queen Amytis.
It is the only wonder of the ancient world whose definite location has not been established to date. A theory suggests that the Hanging Gardens were destroyed in the past, while another theory suggests that it never existed and was a fragment of a popular legend.
The wonder continues to baffle archeologists and historians.
