How much did the Hanging Gardens of Babylon cost?
There is no idea on that. According to accounts, the gardens were built to cheer up Nebuchadnezzar's homesick wife, Amyitis. Amyitis, daughter of the king of the Medes, was married to Nebuchadnezzar to create an alliance between the two nations. The land she came from, though, was green, rugged and mountainous, and she found the flat, sun-baked terrain of Mesopotamia depressing. The king decided to relieve her depression by recreating her homeland through the building of an artificial mountain with rooftop gardens. Again, we have no idea on the cost.
When were the Hanging gardens of Babylon found?
Traditionally they were said to have been built in the ancient city of Babylon, near present-day Hillah, Babil province, in Iraq. The Babylonian priest Berossus, writing in about 290BC and quoted later by Josephus, attributed the gardens to the Neo-Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II, who ruled between 605 and 562 BC. Awkwardly, there are no extant Babylonian texts which mention the gardens, and no definitive archaeological evidence has been found in Babylon.

How where the hanging gardens built?
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were according to tradition and lore, built by king Nebuchadnezzar II. He reigned from 605 to 562 BC and historical records state he founded the Babylonian Empire and decided to build the Gardens as a gift to his Queen. However there is no evidence that they ever existed in real life. Archeological surveys and digs found no evidence, and there have been many attempts. Also all ancient accounts of the city of Babylon (In present-day Iraq) do not mention the Gardens. Therefore they were not built at all, which is a shame because it would have been pretty cool. : )
