The Hanging Gardens of
Babylon and the walls of Babylon
(present-day Iraq) were
considered one of the Seven
Wonders of the World. They were
both supposedly built by
Nebuchadnezzar II around 600
BC .
According to accounts, the
gardens were built to cheer up
Nebuchadnezzar's homesick wife,
Amyitis. Amyitis, daughter of the
king of the Medes, was married to
Nebuchadnezzar to create an
alliance between the nations.
