The Code of Hammurabi was the first system of laws written on a stone slab in the 18th century BC. The stele on the top shows how Marduk, the chief god was giving the laws to the King, assuring people that the laws were of divine origin. The laws regulated trade, family life, and land use. They also punished people severely who did wrong against other people or their property. The laws of Hammurabi were very strict and were based on the idea of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
