German archaeologists excavated extensively at Babylon, but were unable to find credible remains of the fabled Hanging Garden. Recent research has shown that the much later Greek texts describing the garden can be matched in all main details with the palace garden built by the Assyrian king Sennacherib at Nineveh around 700 BC.
