where were these gardens supposedly situated? why was this garden so special? is there any pictures that still exist from this time, of these gardens?

It's funny because the word "Babylon" means Confusion. Looks as if the architects who built it were confused...lol

I suppose these were called "hanging gardens" because there were all kinds of hanging plants? But none of the pictures I see ever depict this. There aren't even that many plants in this depiction!
