  • They had a severe court of law, and corporal punishments were common. They whipped people and cut off their arms for any misdemeanours. They were very fair, though. In one recorded case, a boy was playng with a ball outside a barber shop. He accidentally kicked the ball towards the barber, who wass shaving somebody. The blade slipped, and cut the customer's neck. He died. The boy, was let off, with only the confiscation of the ball.

Hammurabi of Babylon.


Modern country of babylon?

No. Not even close. No country can compare to a legendary, powerful city such as Babylon. Babylon has contributed so much to the growth of mankind, from science, mathematics, economics, diversity, law, language and architecture. Babylon was the first to make human rights into law. Babylon's human right laws, later in history, inspired the United Kingdom to write and enforce the first modern human right laws. America didn't have any such laws until over 100 years after the UK (and Europe) implemented theirs. Even the Ancient Egyptians, Ancient Greek, Ancient Romans and British Empire, some of the most powerful civilisations in history, admitted in literature that nobody will ever be able to replace or replicate the glory of Babylon. The ruins of Babylon sit in Iraq.
