Why were the Gardens Built?
Since we knew where the gardens where, it helped us understand why the gardens where built. When Nebuchadnezzar II got married, his wife used to live in the Zagros Mountains but moved to Babylon. She missed the mountains a lot. That’s when she wanted a mountain of her own and they built the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The gardens where known to give the city food and beauty. This helps us understand the reason they built the gardens.
