Babylon

The code of Hammurabi was written on stone. The sixth king of Babylon noticed the short reins of cruel kings and decided to write down the code. It is the first example known to us of laws codified.

The Code's importance as a reflection of Babylonian society is indisputable. Hammurabi's laws were established to be the "laws of Justice" intended to clarify the rights of any "oppressed man." Mesopotamia society under the Hammurabi code was one of strict penalties for criminal offenses with punishment severe and varied according to the wealth of the individual. Hammurabi's rigidly centralized ruling system prospered from tribute and taxes, which he used to both compensate state dependents and finance extensive state irrigation and building projects. The code also gives us a clear sense of the ways ancient Babylonians invested divine authority in their secular leaders.

Babylonian number system is base on 60 and the cuneiform written system made harder to express math than the system we now use. In the related links box below I posted a site so you could see this.

He wrote the first codified set of laws in history. He noticed that cruel rulers had a short life and came with a just set of laws.

The ancient Babylon city was unearthed in modern day Iraq.

the Babylons created a great center of business and trade. the products that they made were shipped throughout the middle east and as far away as china and India.

but the certain answer is because they kept inventing new inventions and they became popular throughout the world.

The city itself was found. It is located in southern Iraq.

none, and don't ask me anymore questions, you moron

Is an example of a just law.

'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth', meaning, if you commit a crime, your punishment will be what you did to that person. Ex: If you kill someone, you will be killed.

He didn't make all seven wonders of the world; he only made the Hanging Gardens. He created them for his wife, Amytis, because she was homesick. The garden's flowers were collected from her city-state, Media.

His name was Sin-muballit.

Nebuchadnezzar II reestablished the Babylonian Empire from under Persian rule. He then went on to build the Hanging Gardens, one of the seven wonders of the world. Before Babylon had been occupied by the Persians, Hammurabi of Babylon established a written code of laws, which are the earliest transcribed laws known to man (Hammurabi's Code). Babylon also played an important role as the initiator of the rebellion against the Persians,as all of the surrounding Mesopotamian states and city-states looked to Babylon for guidance. Babylon had long resisted Persian rule, even after the Persians devastated the city.Hammurabi believed that his laws were set fair because in his opinion he thought that if someone injured another he shall receive the same injury in return.

One of kings Hammurabi's accomplishments was making the code of law. one law was an eye for an eye. if u put out someones eye your i shall be put out. Or if u kill someones son your son will be killed. that was one accomplishment. another accomplishment was when he brought justice to the people of his land. Another one is when Hammurabi improved the irrigation systems. another one is he approved the royal judges. he also reorganized the tax system. that was most of Hammurabi's accomplishments.

Jeremiah was one of those who urged Jehoiakim to surrender to Nebuchadrezzar rather than risk disaster for Jerusalem. The great prophet Jeremiah lived during the most crucial period of Judah's existence as a kingdom. He saw the destruction of Jerusalem and the holyTemple, after he had incessantly warned his people to mend their ways before it was too late. And when the catastrophe finally overwhelmed his people, he was the one who bitterly lamented Israel's terrible fate in the Book of Echah (Lamentations) which we read on Tisha B'Av, the anniversary of that catastrophe. At the same time, he proved to be a true friend in need, by helping his stricken people to bear the blow with courage and dignity, and by pointing out to them the path that would lead to restoration and redemption.

The Code of Hammurabi is one of the oldest surviving text artifacts left from the Old Babylonian period. It is an early example of a fundamental law code that regulated government. In other words, it is an example of a very primitive, early form of a constitution.

In fact, there were many jobs for those ancient artisans. The Babylonian civilization, which endured from the 18th until the 6th century BC, was, like the Sumerian that preceded it, urban in character, although based on agriculture rather than industry. Babylonian society consisted of three classes represented by the awilu, a free person of the upper class; the wardu, or slave; and the mushkenu, a free person of low estate, who ranked legally between the awilu and the wardu where most slaves were prisoners of war, but some were recruited from the Babylonian citizenry as well.

Babylonian artisans were skilled in metallurgy, in the processes of fulling, bleaching, and dyeing, and in the preparation of paints, pigments, cosmetics, and perfumes. In the field of medicine, surgery was well known and often practiced, judging from the Hammurabi law code, which devotes several paragraphs to the surgeon. Pharmacology, too, doubtless had made considerable progress, although the only major direct evidence of this comes from a Sumerian tablet written several centuries before Hammurabi.

The Scythians' were part of the 1st babylonian revolt againts Assyrians. Nebuchadnezzer had liked the idea of the first but added to it to make it more dominant and then he had became the leader of the second babylonian empire two years after his father conqured Assyrian captial.

Ancient Babylon was built by Nimrod and is located in modern day Iraq.
