Explanation

The Walls of Babylon, the Ishtar Gate, and the Hanging Gardens are associated with Nebuchadnezzar II, who ruled the Neo-Babylonian Empire. He is credited with major building projects that made Babylon a powerful and impressive city. Hammurabi lived much earlier, and these achievements were not Assyrian accomplishments.
