Question: Who built the Hanging Gardens?
Answer: Nebuchadnezzar.
Comments: Though the Hanging Gardens of Babylon do not appear in the Biblical text, they were created by a Biblical figure. King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon reportedly built the gardens around 600 BCE to comfort his wife, Amytis (or Amuhia) of Media, who missed the pastoral scenes of her native Persia.
In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years; then he turned and rebelled against him. (II Kings 24:1, NASB)
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were numbered among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
