Introduction History Outcome
One of the three Asian wonders was the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. It was built by the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar during his reign from 604-562 BC. In order to please his homesick wife who hailed from a mountain kingdom, Nebuchadnezzar built the gardens to create an environment that resembled that of the mountain regions.
