The Hanging Gardens of Babylon one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.The Hanging Gardens of Babylon did not hang, but grew on the roofs and terraces of the royal palace in Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar II, the Chaldean king,who ruled between 605 and 562 BC., is believed to have had the gardens built in about 600 BC as a consolation to his Median wife, who missed the natural surroundings of her homeland and were destroyed by several earthquakes after the 2nd century BC.
They are documented by ancient Greek and Roman writers but there is no definitive archaeological evidence .
