After clashes with other areas, they became an empire. They did have a stable food supply being in the area between two large rivers and trading was plentiful.

yes hammurabi promotes equalness because his laws stated an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth so he believed if you done something wrong it will come in return yo you

To bring justice and peace to his people.
In Hammurabi's own words on the tablet: "[the gods} Anu and Bel Marduk called by name me, Hammurabi, the exalted prince, who feared Marduk, the patron god of Babylon, to bring about the rule in the land." Hammurabi himself doesn't get more specific than that. But it figures that apart from divine inspiration, Hammurabi must have decided that one code of law for his whole kingdom would strenghten its unity and raise his own prestige very considerably. Which it did, by all accounts.

The Dnyaneshwari is the commentary on Bhagavad Gita written by Marathi saint and poet Dnyaneshwar Maharaj during the 13th century at age 16. This commentary has been praised not only for its scholarly, but also for its aesthetic value. The original name of the work is Bhavarth deepika , roughly translated as "The light showing the internal meaning" (of the Bhagvad Geeta). But it is popularly called as Dnyaneshwari, based on its creator's name.

The code were divided with Religion, Military service, Trade, Slavery, The duties of workers and the Code of conduct.

Nebuchadnezzar II had old temples and religious monuments rebuilt, erected massive walls for protection, improved canals and bridges, opened a port on the Persian Gulf, and is credited for the construction of the Hanging Gardens, which restored Babylon to its former glory.

First, Babylon is a very ancient city, and went through many rulers from many ethnic groups.

In the ancient world, there was little or no separation between a king and the gods. In most cases, the king interceded with the gods, performed ceremonial and priestly duties at religious festivals and rituals, and the like. Even in the Roman Republic, it was almost always those who held secular power who also held the offices of high priests and augurs. Babylon's government was, like most other governments of the ancient world (with some exceptions), a monarchy.

Around 539 BCE.

Babylon was established about 2000 BC. even thought the city of Babylon was in the past and present world (known as Iraq)

The ruins of the city of Babylon are in Iraq, near the city of Al Hillah; about 85 kilometres south of Baghdad.

Hammurabi wrote a Code of laws governing his kingdom. The Code dealt with contracts, transactions, and issues over households and relationships concerning family matters, like divorce and inheritance.

Babylon in its hayday was a very fertile tract of land and was the trade capital of the ancient world. People came from afar for its produce and oppulence. As the population grew, so did the king's power.

it is important because king Nebuchaddnezzar II built the hanging garden of Babylon to please his homesick wife. It is the most beautiful garden made and the biggest garden in Babylon. It became one of the seven wonders in the world but it has been destroyed due to an earthquake.

It is important because it became part of out history. A king who built a place like the home of her homesick wife.

Nebuchadnezzar of the Old Testament was a ruler of Babylon.

Daily life in Babylon was simple. Farming, cleaning, cooking, and socializing were all part of the agenda. They made clothing and tools and food.

Set in a future following the destruction of industrial civilization, the story is narrated by a young man named John who is the son of a priest. The priests of John's people are inquisitive "scientists" associated with the divine. They are the only ones who can handle metal collected from the homes (called the "Dead Places") of long-dead people whom they believe to be gods. The plot follows John's self-assigned mission to get to the Place of the Gods. His father allows him to go on a spiritual journey, but does not know he is going to this forbidden place. John takes a journey through the forest for eight days, and crosses the river Ou-dis-sun. Once John gets to the Place of the Gods, he feels the energy and magic there. He sees a statue of a "god" - in point of fact, a human - that says "ASHING" on its base. He also sees a building marked "UBTREAS". After being chased by dogs and sleeping in someone's apartment, John sees a dead god. Upon viewing the visage, he has an epiphany that the gods were simply humans whose power overwhelmed good judgment. After John returns to his tribe, he speaks of the places "newyork" and "Biltmore". His father tells him not to, for sometimes too much truth is a bad thing, that it must be told little by little. The story ends with John stating his conviction that, once he becomes the head priest, "We must build again."

Sumuabum was the founder of the first Babylonian dynasty, the Amorite Dynasty (1894-1595 B.C.). However, he did not assume the title of King of Babylon. Sin-Muballit, the fifth ruler of this dynasty, was the first to declare himself king. He was also the first to expand the territory of this kingdom. His on Hammurabi greatly expanded it by winning a series of wars against neighbouring kingdoms and created the short lived Babylonian Empire.

The Babylonian laws were dug up in a stone carved with the code of Hammurabi. It contains 282 laws that were just for the time being.

As a ruler because he became most known for his set of laws, which was what he did as a ruler . (:
