Скачать или смотреть The Code of Hammurabi Explained | One of the World’s First Law Systems

The Code of Hammurabi was one of the earliest and most influential systems of written law in human history.
Created around 1754 BCE by Hammurabi, the ruler of Babylon, the code was designed to bring order and justice to a growing empire. The laws were carved into a massive stone pillar and placed in public view so that everyone could see and understand them.
Covering crimes, trade, family life, and punishment, the code followed a strict principle — an eye for an eye. Justice depended heavily on social status, with different laws for nobles, commoners, and slaves. While harsh by modern standards, this system introduced a revolutionary idea: laws should be written, public, and enforced by the state.
The Code of Hammurabi marked a major step toward organized government, legal systems, and the rule of law — principles that still shape societies today.
At Past Preserves, we explore the origins of civilization and the systems that built the modern world.
👉 Watch till the end and ask yourself:
Was this true justice — or control through law?
