is the sixth king of the

First

Babylonian dynasty of the Amorite tribe.

Hammurabi

is best known in

law

, and the greatest military man, who made Babylonians the most powerful in the Mesopotamian by defeating the Sumers and Akkadas. He is

also

best known for having published the

Code

of

Hammurabi

., the Babylonian god of

justice

. The

code

of

Hammurabi

is a covenant that gathers laws and the decree of

Hammurabi

. It is a Babylonian legal text and

also

known as the longest, and best-organized legal text from the ancient Near East. The

first

copy of

this

text is inscribed on a basalt 2.25 meters tall.

Hammurabi

code

is criminal

law

, by his rule “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” means whatever you break the rule, you get punished like that.

Hammurabi

said the purpose of the

code

of

Hammurabi

was to maintain

justice

in the land, eliminate wicked

people

, protect weak

people

, and improve welfare for the

people

. The point of

this

law

is the state must give

justice

to

people

and increase the rights of women, women can sue her husband. There is a cruel punishment for the lawbreakers.

Although

the punishment of the

code

of

Hammurabi

is considered cruel to modern man, making laws written and enforced by everyone is an important principle of human civilization. There is a new theory that it is not right to make the

code

of

Hammurabi

as part of the current

law

. The truth is only a reminder that

Hammurabi

is "a model of a king who has

justice

" . The stele now resides in the Louvre Museum, France.
