Best Answer

Hammurabi was an Assyrian with the Acadian language as his first language who used the cuneiform writing system following the lineage from the first Assyrian king Sargon. Babylonia retained the written Semitic Acadian language for official use, despite its Amorite founders and Kassite successors not being native Acadians. Hammurabi realized the cruel kings lived a short reign. He even helped to secure the Babylonian Empire from enemies. Hammurabi was the ruler who chiefly established the greatness of Babylon, the world's first metropolis. Many relics of Hammurabi's reign have been preserved, and today we can study this remarkable King as a wise law-giver in his celebrated code. By far the most remarkable of the Hammurabi records is his code of laws, the earliest-known example of a ruler proclaiming publicly to his people an entire body of laws, arranged in orderly groups, so that all men might read and know what was required of them.

The earliest mention of the city of Babylon can be found in a tablet from the reign of Sargon of Akkad dating back to the 23rd century BC and by the time Hammurabi reached the throne, his code made life in Babylon more just.
