He wrote the first know set of codified laws in existence that we know of. It served as a format for the US Constitution. The Code of Hammurabi contains an extensive list of laws that have opened historians' eyes to the highly sophisticated society of Babylonia. When we think of ancient pagan kings, the ideas of justice and fairness probably aren't the first things to come to mind. King Hammurabi, who ruled a prosperous and thriving Babylonia almost four millennium ago, doesn't quite fit that mold. He claimed to have helped protect the weak from oppression, and scholars believe he fostered an atmosphere of justice and righteousness for his people.
