None. An eye for an eye won't make the whole world blind. What you need to get at is understanding what it means. It means that if we all took revenge and if we all never forgave just think of what our world would be like?

How do some of China's laws compare to Hammurabi's laws?
In the western world laws are considered fair. We have trials where we can confess our innocence and the opportunity to prove it. The punishment for being convicted isn't as harsh as it was in Babylon, because most of the western world doesn't execute its criminals. In Babylon it would seem that they do. In the Middle East I would imagine that the laws are very much the same. Women treated like property, and greater punishment for even the smallest infractions. In ancient times people were interested in basically slaves and so forth like the Chinese in some instant.
Who built the city of Babylon?
Accounts indicate that the garden was built by King Nebuchadnezzar, who ruled the city for 43 years starting in 605 BC (There is an alternative story that the gardens were built by the Assyrian Queen Semiramis during her five year reign starting in 810 BC). This was the height of the city's power and influence and King Nebuchadnezzar is known to have constructed an astonishing array of temples, streets, palaces and walls. According to accounts, the gardens were built to cheer up Nebuchadnezzar's homesick wife, Amyitis. Amyitis, daughter of the king of the Medes, was married to Nebuchadnezzar to create an alliance between the two nations. The land she came from, though, was green, rugged and mountainous, and she found the flat, sun-baked terrain of Mesopotamia depressing. The king decided to relieve her depression by recreating her homeland through the building of an artificial mountain with rooftop gardens.

What allusions are used that refer the the city Babylon?
We can see what Jehovah thinks about false religion by reading The Bible book of Revelation. There, false religion is described as a symbolic woman, "Babylon the Great." (Revelation 17:5) Note how God describes her:
● "The great harlot . . . with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication." (Revelation 17:1, 2) Rather than being faithful to God, false religion has meddled in politics, often telling governments what to do.
● "In her was found the blood of prophets and of holy ones and of all those who have been slaughtered on the earth." (Revelation 18:24) False religion has persecuted and killed faithful servants of God and has been responsible for the death of millions in warfare.
● "She glorified herself and lived in shameless luxury." (Revelation 18:7) False religion has great riches, which her leaders use to live in luxury.
● "By [her] spiritistic practice all the nations were misled." (Revelation 18:23) By her false teaching that the soul does not die, false religion has opened the door to every kind of spiritism and sorcery and has promoted fear of the dead and worship of ancestors.
Sounding a strong warning to people to separate from false religion, the Bible says: "Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues."-Revelation 18:4, 5.
In the near future, Babylon the Great, the world empire of false religion, will be totally destroyed. The Bible says: "In one day her plagues will come, death and mourning and famine, and she will be completely burned with fire, because Jehovah God, who judged her, is strong." (Revelation 18:8) To avoid receiving part of her plagues, we must break off all connections with false religion, having nothing to do with practices, celebrations, and beliefs that are displeasing to God. The matter is urgent. Our lives are at stake!-2 Corinthians 6:14-18.
Additional Information:
We need to remember that God said Babylon the Great is the "mother of harlots". Therefore this implies that Babylon HERSELF cannot be ALL false religion, because she has "daughters" and she is the MOTHER of them. So God is pointing us to one specific church. And from Revelation 18:23 we can tell that this is a professing Christian church, because it says that the "light of the candle" and the "voice of the Bridegroom" would no longer be seen or heard in Babylon.
Who is the "Bridegroom"? The Bible clearly points to Jesus Christ as the Bridegroom. So Babylon must be a professing Christian church who proclaims Christ Jesus. It cannot be Islam or any other false religion, because they NEVER proclaim Jesus Christ as Saviour.
All the other details of Babylon, "Purple and Scarlet colour", "blood of the saints", "committing fornication with the kings of the earth", etc.. points to only one church and that is the Church of Rome.
