The gardens were built during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II (605-562 B.C.) and they existed just south of Bagdad in modern-day Iraq on the Euphrates River. The hanging gardens are said to have survived more than five hundred years, until they were destroyed by an Earthquake in the first century B.C. so the king died long before the destruction.
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are from the city of Babylon built by King Nebuchadnezzar 2 to impress his Persian wife.

Nebuchadnezzar was the Chaldean king who restored Babylon and created the Hanging Gardens for his wife. The Hanging Gardens are listed among the "wonders of the ancient world". Naturally, he lived in the capital of the Chaldean Empire, Babylon. His rule is approximated at 1100 BC BCE.
