Accounts indicate that the garden was built by King Nebuchadnezzar, who ruled the city for 43 years starting in 605 BC (There is an alternative story that the gardens were built by the Assyrian Queen Semiramis during her five year reign starting in 810 BC). This was the height of the city's power and influence and King Nebuchadnezzar is known to have constructed an astonishing array of temples, streets, palaces and walls. 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.

Nebuchadnezzar II built inner and outer wall towers for archers and a moat to enhance the defensive capabilities of Babylon. The towers provided elevated positions for archers to effectively defend the city from invaders, while the moat served as an additional barrier, complicating enemy access and siege efforts. These fortifications demonstrated his commitment to safeguarding the city and its inhabitants, reflecting both military strategy and the importance of Babylon as a cultural and political center.
Yes, the Chaldeans, particularly during the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar II, built three concentric walls around Babylon. These walls were designed for defense and to showcase the city's grandeur, featuring impressive gates and towers. The innermost wall was the most fortified, protecting the heart of the city, while the outer walls served as an additional layer of security. This architectural feat contributed to Babylon's reputation as one of the most magnificent cities of the ancient world.
