Question

I want to consult your opinion: write down a summary in your own words about Chapter Seven-Hammurabi and the Babylonians

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Babylonians were a group of people who lived in an area called Mesopotamia, which is now called Iraq. The Babylonians were part of a larger group called the Semites, who all spoke the same language. Hammurabi united all of the Semites under one rule and established a capital in Babylonian territory. With all of Mesopotamia united under one rule, Hammurabi established a code of law to be used throughout his kingdom. The code became known as the Code of Hammurabi, and it is the first recorded code of law in human history. The Code of Hammurabi provided laws and punishments that were applicable to citizens based on their social status and gender.
