Hanging Gardens of Babylon

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, said to be built in the ancient city-state of Babylon, near present-day Iraq. They were described as an extraordinary series of tiered gardens, featuring lush trees and vibrant plants, supposedly built by King Nebuchadnezzar II for his wife, who missed the greenery of her homeland. Despite their fame, the exact existence and location of the gardens remain uncertain, as no definitive archaeological evidence has been found, leading some historians to question whether they were real or a myth inspired by ancient writings.
