the hanging gardens of babylon were considered to be one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and the only one of the wonders that may have been purely legendary. they were purportedly built in the ancient city-state of babylon, near present-day al hillah, babil province, in iraq. the hanging gardens were not the only world wonder in babylon; the city walls and obelisk attributed to queen semiramis were also featured in ancient lists of wonders.   the gardens were attributed to the neo-babylonian king nebuchadnezzar  ii, who ruled between 605 and 562  bc. he is reported to have constructed the gardens to please his homesick wife, amytis of media, who longed for the plants of her homeland. the gardens were said to have been destroyed by several earthquakes after the 2nd century bc.

the hanging gardens of babylon are documented by ancient greek and romans writers, including strabo, diodorus siculus, and quintus curtius rufus. however, no texts describing the hanging gardens were found, and no definitive archaeological evidence concerning their whereabouts were found. ancient writers describe the possible use of something similar to an archimedes screw as a process of irrigating the terraced gardens. estimates based on descriptions of the gardens in ancient sources say the hanging gardens would have required a minimum amount of 8,200 gallons of water per day. nebuchadnezzar ii is also reported to have used massive slabs of stone, a technique not otherwise attested in babylon, to prevent the water from eroding the ground.

висячие сады вавилона считались одним из семи чудес древнего мира, и единственным из чудес, которые могли быть чисто легендарными. предположительно сады были построены в древнем городе-государстве вавилоне, недалеко от современного аль-хилла, провинция вавилон, в ираке. висячие сады были не единственным чудом света в вавилоне; городские стены и обелиск, приписываемые царице семирамиде, также фигурировали в древних списках чудес.

сады были отнесены к царствованию нео-вавилонского царя навуходоносора ii, правившего между 605 и 562 году до нашей эры. он, как сообщают, построил сады, чтобы скрасить тоску по дому своей жены, аметис медиа, которая тосковала по растениям своей родины. сады были разрушены несколькими землетрясениями после 2-го века до нашей эры.

висячие сады вавилона задокументированы древнегреческими и римскими писателями, включая страбона, диодора сикула и квинта курция руфа. однако никаких текстов, описывающих висячие сады, обнаружено не было, и никаких окончательных археологических доказательств их местонахождения обнаружено не было.

древние писатели описывают возможное использование чего-то похожего, описанного в трудах архимеда, как процесс орошения террасных садов. оценки, основанные на описаниях садов в древних источниках, говорят, что висячие сады потребовали бы минимального количества 8200 галлонов воды в день. сообщается также, что навуходоносор ii использовал массивные каменные плиты, метод, не подтвержденный в вавилоне, чтобы предотвратить размывание земли водой.
