The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are an ancient wonder reputed to be a spectacular terraced garden built in Babylon, near present-day Baghdad. Descriptions suggest it was an extraordinary feat of engineering, with lush plants and trees cascading over multiple levels. Historically, they are thought to have been constructed around 600 BCE, possibly by King Nebuchadnezzar II to please his wife. However, their existence and precise location are debated among historians, as no definitive archaeological evidence has been found. The gardens symbolize grand architectural achievement and the ingenuity of ancient civilizations in creating lush environments in arid regions.
