What's so important about the Code of Hammurabi? The Code of Hammurabi contains an extensive list of laws that have opened historians' eyes to the highly sophisticated society of Babylonia. When we think of aÂ­ncient pagaÂ­n kings, the ideas of justice and fairness probably aren't the first things to come to mind.
The Code of Hammurabi was inscribed on a stele and placed in a public place so that all could see it, although it is thought that few were literate. The stele was later plundered by the Elamites and removed to their capital, Susa; it was rediscovered there in 1901 in Iran and is now in the Louvre Museum in Paris.The code of Hammurabi contained 282 laws, written by scribes on 12 tablets. carving at the top of the stele portrays Hammurabi receiving the laws from the god Shamash or possibly Marduk, and the preface states that Hammurabi was chosen by the gods of his people to bring the laws to them.
