Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Hanging Gardens Of Babylon
In antiquity, gardens at Babylon, the capital of Mesopotamia, considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. According to legend, King Nebuchadnezzar constructed the gardens in the 6th century BC for one of his wives, who was homesick for her birthplace in the Iranian mountains. Archaeological excavations at the site of Babylon, 88 km/55 mi south of Baghdad in modern Iraq, have uncovered a huge substructure that may have supported irrigated gardens on terraces.
