HANGING GARDEND OF BABYLON

Many experts have doubts that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon might have ever actually existed. Due to the little documentation of the garden. Legend says that king Nebuchadnezzar the second created the Garden for his wife Amytis. This was due to Nebuchadnezzar marring Amytis in order to unite Babylon and Media. Leaving Amytis homesick for the nature filled environment she was raised in. Nebuchadnezzar's plan worked, Amytis loved the garden, and was content with living in Babylon with Nebuchadnezzar. For many years Babylon prospered and was the wealthiest nation for its era. The Garden eventually came to an end, after major a earthquake caused it to collapse.
