The first known written laws are attributed to the Code of Ur-Nammu, created around 2100-2050 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia. This code predates the more famous Code of Hammurabi by several centuries and consists of a collection of legal provisions and penalties. It was inscribed on clay tablets and aimed to establish justice and order within society. The laws encompassed various aspects of daily life, including trade, family relations, and property rights.
