stood out the most were the the Nubians/Kushites, the Akkadians, and the Babylonians. Geography played a major role in how the individuals of that particular civilization lived. The Nubians (also known as Kushites) lived in a fertile area of Africa which fueled agriculture. Both the Nubians and Akkadians used the Nile River Valley to farm. Although these two civilizations had this in common, the Nubians were…

Before the rule of the Babylonian king, Hammurabi, the parameters of justice were unstructured and undetermined. In a need of unification and centralization, King Hammurabi sought to use his…

In Sippar, Mesopotamia, there laid a temple of the sun god, Shamash. Within the courtyard of this temple, there stood a six-foot six-inch piece of Royal Art. On display for the generations of that era, and many eras after, many are able to awe in the narration of a victorious event. This art displays the triumph of Naram-Sin, and his Military, conquering the Lullabi people of Zargos mountains; habitants of Eastern Mesopotamia. In r. 2254-2218 BCE, Naram-Sin was inspired to leave an imprint of…

Hammurabi was a vicious, threatful beast that took over many city-states around him ranging from the North to South. Hammurabi now was controlling much of Mesopotamia. After Hammurabi’s reign, his acts of…

Residing in Babylon has been tied to my families history for decades. Us residents, our families, and ancestors have experienced first hand the impact a ruler can have on his subordinates. With Prince Hammurabi acquiring the throne through hereditary rule, he composed 282 lex talionis.

Hammurabi was the 6th king of Babylon. He ruled Babylon for 42 years. During those 42 years he made a set of 282 laws called The Code of Hammurabi. He first developed these laws first to institute taxes. You can see some of these laws can still be seen in today 's laws. These codes or laws were carved onto 49 columns.
