These were built by Nebuchadnezzar to gratify his wife, Amytis, a
native of Media, and who longed for something to remind her of her
mountain home. They consisted of an artificial hill 400 feet square
at the base, and rising in terraces to a height which overtopped
the walls of the city. These terraces were filled with luxuriant
vegetation of all kinds, even large trees, and were watered by a
fountain at the summit, fed with water drawn from the Euphrates.
