Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Ancient wonder in Iraq

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

They were described as a remarkable feat of engineering with an ascending series of tiered gardens.

Contrary to popular belief, there is no definitive archaeological evidence that the gardens ever existed.

Those wishing to learn more about the gardens must rely on ancient texts and interpretations.

Legend says the Hanging Gardens were built by King Nebuchadnezzar II for his homesick wife.
