CHAPTER FIVE — BABYLON AND THE LAW THAT BOUND THE WORLD

For the first time in human history, justice was written in stone.

In this chapter, step into the heart of ancient Babylon, where King Hammurabi transformed chaos into order by creating the world’s first comprehensive legal code. No longer ruled by memory, priests, or royal whim, society was now governed by written law — visible, permanent, and unavoidable.

Discover how the Code of Hammurabi reshaped civilization, defined crime and punishment, and altered the relationship between kings, gods, and ordinary people. This is the moment when humanity chose rules over rulers, consistency over mercy, and structure over uncertainty — a choice that still shapes modern law today.
