The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were attributed to Nebuchadnezzar II, built for his wife Amytis to alleviate her homesickness. Despite their fame, definitive archaeological proof of their existence remains elusive, and some believe they might have been located in Nineveh instead. The gardens symbolize the extraordinary architectural achievements of ancient Babylonian civilization.
