Three Hundred Years Put To Death
1,045 wordsMany people may not know it, but they have heard part of Hammurabi's Law Code before. It is where the fabled eye-for-an-eye statement came from. However, this brutal way of enforcing laws was not always the case in ancient Mesopotamia, where Hammurabi ruled.
