I am doing a project for Hammurabi code of laws and have been researching all day..and then I saw this question..this is what I came up with...it was written on a diorite stela, it is now in the Louvre museum in Paris. It was also discovered in December 1901 by the egyptologist Gustave Jequier, in Khuzestan, Iran. **I am improving the answer that is above** If you're just looking for an answer that doesnt have to be complicated and specific, read: Hammurabi's code was written down on a stone tablet and the scribe used cuneiform to write it down. It's called Hammurabi's CODE because code meant "laws written down in a clear orderly way"
