The Past Of The Gardens Of Love

The gardens was the most beautiful wonder of the ancient world, were built around 600 BC by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II. The gardens were a combination of natural and architectural beauty. The King Nebuchadnezzar II built the gardens as a proof of love for his wife Amitys, She was raised in a green and mountainous land, she felt depressed because babylon had no gardens and green mountains. The gardens were made to look like a natural Median wilderness, Nebuchadnezzar had man made hills covered with many different types of trees, which satisfied his wife's passion for mountainous surroundings. The beautiful landscape of the Hanging Gardens helped make it a special structure, and transformed the desert-like environment into a pastoral countryside.
