The hanging gardens of Babylon


The hanging gardens of Babylon

The Seven Wonders of the ancient world

The legendary gardens of King Nebuchadnessar II may not have existed. Some people believe they were created in about 600 BC in Babylon, 88 km (55 miles) south of present day Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. “Hanging” suggests that they were a serious of terraces made of bricks, some glazed and brightly colored.
