At the head of the stone slab is Hammurabi receiving the law from, and in the preface, he states, ' and called by name me, Hammurabi, the exalted prince, who feared God, to bring about the rule of righteousness in the land, to destroy the wicked and the evil-doers; so that the strong should not harm the weak; so that I should rule over the black-headed people like, and enlighten the land, to further the well-being of mankind.'

However, when brought both Babylon and Susa under the rule of his and placed copies of the document in the, the text became available for all the peoples of the vast Persian Empire to view.In 1901, Egyptologist, a member of an expedition headed by, found the stele containing the Code of Hammurabi during archaeological excavations at the ancient site of Susa in Khuzestan. Laws of Hammurabi's Code. Detail of paragraph 165.The Code of Hammurabi was one of the only sets of laws in the and also one of the first forms of law.

The code of laws was arranged in orderly groups, so that all who read the laws would know what was required of them. Earlier collections of laws include the, king of (c. 2050 BC), the (c. 1930 BC) and the codex of of (c.

1870 BC), while later ones include the, the,. These codes come from similar cultures in a relatively small geographical area, and they have passages that resemble each other.

Figures at the top of the stele 'fingernail', above Hammurabi's code of laws.The Code of Hammurabi is the longest surviving text from the Old Babylonian period. The code has been seen as an early example of a fundamental law, regulating a government – i.e., a primitive. The code is also one of the earliest examples of the idea of, and it also suggests that both the accused and accuser have the opportunity to provide. The occasional nature of many provisions suggests that the code may be better understood as a codification of Hammurabi's supplementary judicial decisions, and that, by memorializing his wisdom and justice, its purpose may have been the self-glorification of Hammurabi rather than a modern legal code or constitution. However, its copying in subsequent generations indicates that it was used as a model of legal and judicial reasoning.While the Code of Hammurabi was trying to achieve equality, biases still existed against those categorized in the lower end of the social spectrum and some of the punishments and justice could be gruesome. The magnitude of criminal penalties often was based on the identity and gender of both the person committing the crime and the victim.

The Code issues justice following the three classes of Babylonian society: property owners, freed men, and slaves.Punishments for someone assaulting someone from a lower class were far lighter than if they had assaulted someone of equal or higher status. For example, if a doctor killed a rich patient, he would have his hands cut off, but if he killed a slave, only financial restitution was required. Women could also receive punishments that their male counterparts would not, as men were permitted to have affairs with their servants and slaves, whereas married women would be harshly punished for committing adultery.

HamurabiAccording to the, “Doug Dyment wrote The Sumer Game in 1968 as a demonstration program for the FOCAL programming language, programming it on a DEC PDP-8.”In 1975, when I was a senior in high school, Hamurabi was one of the first games I typed into the school's PDP-10 using a DecWriter. I obtained a copy of the source code, written in the BASIC programming language, from a company called the. The games were written in another dialect of the BASIC programming language, and required tweaking to get them to run. This was how I first learned to program computers.Today, I find myself in need of learning new programming skills and the Hamurabi game should help here. The skills I hope to learn are Silverlight, Windows Phone, Android, Objective C for iPhone, and possibly MonoTouch and MonoDroid.The first step in using Hamurabi for Silverlight and Windows Phone is to convert the program to C# and then re-factor the program in a sensible way.10 REM.
