Babylon

Not the Declaration but the Constitution which follows the principles from the Hammurabi code.

I believe the term should be "tenets", not "tenants".

No, it is located in southern Iraq.

Traffic and internet wasn't a part because there weren't any cars or internet available.

The codification and the making of a prologue.

You could see that it was a primitive society when you compared it with the laws of our time.

Hammurabi was born in 1795 BC in Babylon, modern day Iraq. The lasting contribution of Hammurabi on Babylonian society was his set of laws known as the code of Hammurabi. From the Akkadian language of the Amorite his name means "the kinsman is a healer". He was born royal and inherited the power from his father. Life as a child is not documented and only scanty information exists about his immediate family: his father, Sin-muballit; his sister, Iltani; and his firstborn son and successor, Samsuiluna, are known by name.

Hammurabi wrote the code mainly because he reasoned that cruel rulers have short reigns and took time to write a set of just laws. Also, when we go back in time, people had more respect for leaders.

Rome did not have a globalising empire because this empire did not cover the whole globe.

Because of the Babylonian Captivity, Babylonia became the most important center of Jewish life during the Exile. The Jewish people survived in Babylon because the Babylonian policy allowed the Jews to settle in towns and villages along the Chebar River, which was an irrigation channel. The Jews were allowed to live together in communities; they were allowed to farm and perform other sorts of labor to earn income. Many Jews eventually became wealthy.

The code of Hammurabi looks like a large index finger with 2 people at the top which is probably Hammurabi sitting down and a maid or servant standing up.

C. The main purpose is to explain a natural disaster

Hammurabi inherited one major direction for his political activity to succeed in controlling the Euphrates waters. An important area of the code was written that depended exclusively on irrigation agriculture. Since Hammurabi expanded the kingdom to conquer all of ancient Mesopotamia, he had to regulate the use of water for his expanding kingdom.

Hammurabi wrote the first known codified laws to men.

Babylon was the ancient country of Mesopotamia, known originally as Sumer and later as Sumer and Akkad, lying between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, south of modern Baghdad, Iraq.

They were quite different - the Code of Hammurabi is a code of laws covering society; Magna Carts was an agreement between king and barons to share power and end the feudal system under which the king's powers were absolute and the barons were subject to the king's whim.

They are clay tablets that scribes wrote cuneiform on, normally to record business deals.

Babylon was located in what is now Iraq.

They went, and built the Second Temple.

The main task for him was securing the borders of the Empire .

he Babylonians knew how to make cloth, so they wore clothes made from woven fabric. They probably also wore shoes, sandals and clothes made from leather. Many fabrics were brightly colored with natural dyes.

Because items like textiles are only occasionally preserved, archaeologists have to rely on paintings, sculptures and decorative metalwork for their evidence of what people wore in the days of ancient Babylon.

I think you are referring to Hammurabi, the sixth king of babylon. he is well know for his code of laws, a set of laws that define offenses and their punishment "An Eye for an Eye"

Hammurabi, the ruler of the greatest Babylon who chiefly established the world's first metropolis. Hammurabi has been preserved and today we can still study him as a remarkable king. From 1795-1750 BC, Hammurabi created the Hammurabi code of laws also known as the code of Hammurabi. He created at least 282 laws for the people of Mesopotamia to follow.

He extended his empire northward from the Persian Gulf through the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys and westward to the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Hammurabi while he was ruler had artisans carve nearly 300 laws on a stone pillar for all to see. The code was the first important attempt by a ruler to codify or arrange and set down in writing all the laws that would govern a state. Although he was most famous for his codes, he took other steps to successfully unite his empire. He improved the system of irrigation and organized a well trained army. He repaired many temples when they needed to be and he promoted Marduk, the patron god of Babylon, over older Sumerian gods for religious reasons.

Hammurabi's codes of laws were very important when he first created them and they still are now today. His laws confided with civil laws. The branch of laws deals with private rights and matters such as business and taxes and etc. Hammurabi's code was made to protect the powerless and such as slaves and women. As Hammurabi thought an orderly household was necessary for a stable empire. His law also addressed criminal law. This branch gives offence against others, for example robberies, assaults, or murder. Hammurabi's motto was "an eye for an eye and a life for a life."

Most of these laws have been around since Sumerian times but Hammurabi wanted to ensure that everyone in his empire knew the legal principles his government would follow. Later in time Darious adapted laws from his people he conquered and like Hammurabi he drew up single code of laws for the empire.
