Hammurabi's Code is one of the oldest deciphered writings of significant length in the world, dating back to around 1754 BC in ancient Babylon. It consists of 282 laws covering various aspects of daily life, governance, trade, family relations, and justice, famously embodying the principle of "an eye for an eye." The code addresses issues such as property rights, labor regulations, and punishments tailored to social class. Its primary aim was to establish order and justice in society, reflecting the values and norms of the time.
