The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were four acres of gardens raised on a base supported by pillars, and towering in terraces one above another 100 meters in height. At a distance they looked like a vast pyramid covered with trees. The gardens were constructed by Nebuchadnezzar to gratify his wife who was bored with the flat plains of Babylon, and longed for something to remind her of her native Median hills.
