The first set of written laws is generally considered to be the Code of Ur-Nammu, which dates back to around 2100-2050 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia. However, the more famous Code of Hammurabi, established around 1754 BCE, is often cited as one of the earliest comprehensive legal codes due to its extensive documentation and influence. Both codes laid foundational principles for legal systems in subsequent civilizations.
