No. They do not exist anymore. Umm, neither does Babylon, btw.

They were created by the king for his wife, much like the Taj Mahal was. They involved an intricate and sophisticated system or irrigation and hydraulics, therefore, they were a great scientific achievement. They represented a theological worldview in which heaven was visualized as a garden in the desert. They were a powerful political tool to provide a kind of "shock and awe" to all who came to Babylon, that is, they were an expression of political power and might. They were a testimony to the creative genius of humankind.
