Nebuchadnezzar II.
Nebuchanezzar II, rule of Babylonia from 605 to 562 B.C., brought the capital city of Babylon back to its former grandeur- and then some! Destroyed by the Assyrians around 689 B.C., the city was rebuilt by Nebuchadnezzar, who decorated temples and palaces with lavish gold and silver ornamentation, making it the most magnificent city of the day. Nebuchadnezzar's most noted contribution to the glory of Babylon was a series of terraced gardens called the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Kept lush and green by an elaborate irrigation system, these towering gardens were considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Nebuchanezzar may have built the gardens to please his wife, who was from Mede and missed the forested mountains of her homeland.
