Hammurabi's Code is considered a significant Babylonian achievement because it represents one of the earliest and most complete written legal codes in history. Compiled around 1754 BCE, it established a framework for justice and governance, promoting social order by clearly defining laws and corresponding punishments. The code also reflects the values and norms of Babylonian society, influencing legal systems in subsequent civilizations. Its preservation and study have provided invaluable insights into ancient Mesopotamian culture and law.
