The Hanging Gardens: Babylon’s Biggest Mystery

For over two thousand years, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon have captivated imaginations as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Classical writers like Diodorus, Strabo, and Philo described them in vivid detail—towering terraces, exotic trees, and ingenious irrigation systems. Yet, despite these glowing accounts, no Babylonian texts or archaeological discoveries have ever confirmed their existence. Did Nebuchadnezzar II really build the Gardens for his queen, Amytis? Or were later authors describing something else entirely—perhaps even the gardens of Assyrian kings at Nineveh? From Berossus’ lost Babyloniaca to Koldewey’s 19th-century excavations, the story of the Hanging Gardens is as much mystery as it is history.
