GPT 3.5
The Hammurabi's Code is a well-preserved ancient law code from ancient Babylon, dating back to the 18th century BCE. It was created during the reign of King Hammurabi and consists of 282 laws carved on a seven-foot stone pillar, known as the stele. The code covers various aspects of Babylonian society, including civil law, criminal law, and regulations related to trade and commerce. It is one of the earliest known legal systems in human history and provides valuable insights into the social structure and values of ancient Mesopotamia. The code is known for its principle of "an eye for an eye" which suggests that the punishment for a crime should be proportional to the crime committed.
