She missed the green hills and valleys of her homeland. Upon marrying Nebudchadnezzar I, Amyitis moved to the ancient chief city of Babylon.The area was in the Mesopotamian desert, and the climate there was totally different from where she had left. So the new queen was very sad about the flat and the sun-baked desert. To make Amyitis happier and more comfortable, the king decided to build her a series of magnificent gardens. Many think of the gardens as an otherworldly creation that hung in the air somehow. But experts agree that the gardens were actually built on a mountainside, rather than actually “hanging”.
