The Hanging Gardens of Babylon (mythical)

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are an ancient, legendary wonder described as an extraordinary terraced garden built in the ancient city of Babylon, near present-day Iraq. According to historical accounts, they featured lush greenery and cascading terraces, created to please a queen who missed the mountains of her homeland. While their existence remains unproven and some debate whether they were real or mythical, they symbolize human ingenuity and the desire to create beautiful, awe-inspiring structures in an arid landscape. The gardens continue to inspire imagination as one of the most famous lost wonders of the ancient world.
