Hanging gardens of Amitis.
Reconstruction of the beginning of the XX century.
The Hanging Gardens of Semiramis are one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
A more correct name for this structure is the Hanging Gardens of Amitis (according to other sources — Amanis): this was the name of the wife of the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II, for whom the gardens were created 1].
Presumably they were located in the ancient state of Babylon, near the modern city of Hill.
According to an alternative version, based on the re deciphering of cuneiform tablets, they could be located in Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian kingdom, and were built at the beginning of the VII century BC. [2]

The history of the appearance[edit / edit wiki text]
The Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II (605-562 BC) concluded a military alliance with Kiaxar, the king of Media, to fight against the main enemy — Assyria, whose troops twice destroyed the capital of the state of Babylon.
Having won, they divided the territory of Assyria among themselves.
Their military alliance was confirmed by the marriage of Nebuchadnezzar II to the daughter of the Median king Amitis.
Dusty and noisy Babylon, located on a bare sandy plain, did not please the queen, who grew up in a mountainous and green Mussel.
To comfort her, Nebuchadnezzar II ordered the construction of hanging gardens.
However, in historical science, the name of the gardens was mistakenly assigned to the Assyrian queen Semiramis, who lived two centuries earlier.
