Around 2050-2000 BC, the great kingdom of the Sumerians was attacked by external invaders. Sumeria had been a powerful kingdom in the western part of Asia, and it had roughly occupied the land that was one day to become Babylonia. The history of Babylonia is considered to have started with Hammurabi, who became the king of the city of Babylon in 1792 BC.

Where is the hagging garden of Babylon located?

Unfortunately we do not know.As far as I know nobody has found the location of the famous Hanging Gardens. All that we can surmise from the historical record was that it used to exist in the city of Babylon (now Baghdad, Iraq). But as far as I know historians and archeologists have not found its whereabouts or ruins.The Hanging Gardens were one of the seven world wonders of the ancient world. The only wonder of the ancient world still standing today is the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.

Does the Nile river run through Babylon or not?

No the Nile is in Egypt, far away from Babylon which is in Iraq. The Iraqi Babylon which is the famous city of the Bible, is close to the river Euphrates. However there was a part of the old city of Cairo which was known as Babylon and that would have been quite close to the Nile. It should not be confused with biblical Babylon.
