Detailed explanation-2: -The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were the fabled gardens which beautified the capital of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, built by its greatest king Nebuchadnezzar II (r. 605-562 BCE). One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, they are the only wonder whose existence is disputed amongst historians.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were supposed to have been built by King Nebuchadnezzar II, who ruled from 605 to 562 BCE. Legend says that this powerful ruler decided to build the Gardens as a beautiful gift for his queen, Amytis. She was from a mountainous region so the tiers of the Gardens reminded her of home.
