First, we need to understand the connection between âthings strangledâ and âblood.â Lenski noted: ââFrom a thing strangled and from bloodâ may be considered together since both alike involve blood. An animal that was not butchered but snared and killed by strangling still had blood in itâ (1961, p. 616).
Hammurabi was born circa 1810 BC in Babylon, modern day Iraq. The lasting contribution of Hammurabi on Babylonian society was his set of laws written on twelve stones and displayed publicly for all to see, the most common being, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.. The laws are commonly known as Hammurabi's Code.
Then the next milestone in the timeline of Mesopotamia was Hammurabi who was the sixth king of Babylon. Hammurabi is known for the set of laws called Hammurabi's Code, one of the first written codes of law in the recorded history (1728 BC to 1685 BC.) 1600-1100 BC staggered periods of Hittite hegemony over Mesopotamia.
