Further explanation

Hammurabi was a famous king of Babylon, in Mesopotamia, around 1700 BC. He was the king who conquered the lands in the history of this region and transformed his country into a great empire. He is known for his legal texts, called the Code of Hammurabi, which he engraved on stone slabs or clay tablets. He put this code on the big squares of his kingdom so the citizens could read them.

There is a basalt stele exhibited at the Louvre Museum in Paris. It was discovered in the early twentieth century in southern Lebanon. It is 2.25 meters high and 55 cm wide. King Hammurabi is represented in it with the Sun King of the Babylonians. Some laws are written on this stele, divided into the boxes. They talked mainly about the laws, justice, and the rights of the accused, such as the presumption of innocence or punishments for false testimony. The other things that they described were the punishments applied to different crimes, the rules about trade, the drafting of contracts or loans, and the payment of debts.
