What did hammurabi do to become famous?
Hammurabi is known as to the ruler who chiefly established the greatness of Babylon. Hammurabi, first ruler of the Babylonian empire, holds the claim of restoring order and justice to Mesopotamia. Although Hammurabi did conquer other city-states to expand his empire, he let the rulers of the cities-states live and justly ruled the people with fair laws. The beginning of Hammurabi's reign was peaceful, because during the first couple of decades that Hammurabi ruled, everything went relatively smoothly. Under his rule, he used his power to advance public interests, such as increasing the height of the city walls for defensive purposes, as well as expanding the temples of his kingdom. In the 1760s BC, Babylonia was at war with Elam, a Dravidian kingdom. The kingdom then expanded from Persia to the Mediterranean Sea. The following period was a highpoint of Babylonian literature and culture. Temples, public buildings and irrigation were improved during his rule. Hammurabi is famous for the legal system he developed around 1780 BC. One of the first recorded written codes of law in history is Hammurabi's Code. By far the most remarkable of the Hammurabi records is his code of laws. In 1901, this great piece of history was uncovered. His 282 laws have been used by many later civilisations including the Hebrews and the Romans. The laws were written on stelee (upright stones) and placed around the kingdom so that all citizens could read them. The laws address business and family relations, the hiring of labour, property, personal injuries and debt. Its most famours law can be summarised as "an eye for an eye". After Hammurabi's death a legend grew that he has climbed a mountain and received the laws from the Sun God. For more information, there is a link below.
