The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were the illustrious gardens which ornamented the capital of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, built by its greatest ever king Nebuchadnezzar II (r. 605-562 BCE). One of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, they are the only wonder whose existence is debated amongst historians. The gardens were built high above the ground on multi-level stone terraces & the plants were not rooted in the earth like a conventional garden, hence it was called the Hanging Gardens.
