text: In the minds of some scolars, they think that it's possible\nthe 10 commandments were inspired by the code of Hammurabi.\n\nHowever, I think it's more likely the other way. Though the Ussher-Lightfoot Calendar put Moses and his life events after Hammurabi, it should be noted that the timeline get a bit fuzzy after Solomon completed the temple. I mean that the Bible didn't tell Jesus was born XXXX years after the completion of the temple by Solomon.\n\nMy own personal calculation and research put Moses' adventure somewhere around the mid third millenium BC.
