The Code of Hammurabi is a stone stele inscribed with one of the earliest known written codes of law, dating back to the reign of the Babylonian king Hammurabi (c. 1792-1750 BC). The stele is 2.25 meters tall, 1.9 meters wide, and 0.5 meters thick, and is made of black diorite.
The stele was discovered at Susa (the ancient capital of Persia) in 1901 during archaeological excavations led by French archaeologist Jacques de Morgan. It is now on display at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
==The Laws== [2]
The Code of Hammurabi consists of a prologue, followed by 282 laws arranged in 15 columns. The laws cover a wide range of topics, including:
- Criminal law
- Civil law
- Commercial law
- Family law
- Property law
The laws are known for their harshness, with many of them prescribing the death penalty or mutilation. However, the laws also provide some protections for citizens, including women, children, and slaves.
==Significance== [3]
The Code of Hammurabi is an important document because it provides insight into ancient Babylonian society and its legal system. It is also an early example of a written law code, and it has influenced the development of laws around the world.
==Controversy== [4]
The Code of Hammurabi has been the subject of some controversy due to some of its violent laws. However, it is important to remember that these laws reflected the values and beliefs of Babylonian society at the time.
It is also worth noting that the Code of Hammurabi was not a complete legal code. It was more of a set of guidelines for judges to use when making decisions.
==Conclusion== [5]
The Code of Hammurabi is an important historical document that provides insight into ancient Babylonian society and law. It is also an early example of a written law code, and it has influenced the development of law around the world. غزوان ال عزاره ( talk) 16:01, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
