Who was hummarabi?
I think you are referring to Hammurabi, the sixth king of babylon. he is well know for his code of laws, a set of laws that define offenses and their punishment "An Eye for an Eye" Hammurabi, the ruler of the greatest Babylon who chiefly established the world's first metropolis. Hammurabi has been preserved and today we can still study him as a remarkable king. From 1795-1750 BC, Hammurabi created the Hammurabi code of laws also known as the code of Hammurabi. He created at least 282 laws for the people of Mesopotamia to follow. He extended his empire northward from the Persian Gulf through the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys and westward to the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Hammurabi while he was ruler had artisans carve nearly 300 laws on a stone pillar for all to see. The code was the first important attempt by a ruler to codify or arrange and set down in writing all the laws that would govern a state. Although he was most famous for his codes, he took other steps to successfully unite his empire. He improved the system of irrigation and organized a well trained army. He repaired many temples when they needed to be and he promoted Marduk, the patron god of Babylon, over older Sumerian gods for religious reasons. Hammurabi's codes of laws were very important when he first created them and they still are now today. His laws confided with civil laws. The branch of laws deals with private rights and matters such as business and taxes and etc. Hammurabi's code was made to protect the powerless and such as slaves and women. As Hammurabi thought an orderly household was necessary for a stable empire. His law also addressed criminal law. This branch gives offence against others, for example robberies, assaults, or murder. Hammurabi's motto was "an eye for an eye and a life for a life." Most of these laws have been around since Sumerian times but Hammurabi wanted to ensure that everyone in his empire knew the legal principles his government would follow. Later in time Darious adapted laws from his people he conquered and like Hammurabi he drew up single code of laws for the empire.
