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.
