Who made babylonia the center of the babylonian empire

The hanging gardens brought a radical change in the Babylonian life. Some stories indicate the Hanging Gardens towered hundreds of feet into the air, but archaeological explorations indicate a more modest, but still impressive, height. In the heart of the desert, the gardens had all kinds of plants and trees and a number of animals. The wife of the King, Amytis, was from Persia and she didn’t like the dessert so the king built the gardens. So King Nebuchadnezzar II made the city the center of Babylon.
