Hammurabi's Babylonia

Today in class we read this really cool part of a book.It talks about the laws that Hammurabi 

coded(written down).It also says that scientists,mathematicians,artist, etc. improved,they evolved;scientists made important discovery's and changes in astronomy;mathematicians archived advances in algebra and geometry and devised numbers;artist made some sculptures of clay, probably started to paint...They also started farming and trading more.

They were better providers of food.They started trading cloths for wood and everything else they didn't had.There economy started growing because of the trading,farming and artists.You see they did have some food and some cloths but for them to exist they had to change the cloths,food,meat....and everything else they had too much of for the things they didn't have enough or at all. There was also more freedom for the slaves and women.The people that woorent crafts people,clerks,farmers....

Some of the laws he coded were fair and some wore.Most of them were persevered killing people or injuring them.I like that Hammurabi gave women and slaves more freedom but compering today and that time period,for now it doesn't seem fair but for than i think the people were happy because they got at least some freedom.

I think if he didn't enforce the roles,laws then we would still maybe be uncivilized people maybe doing and behaving the same way people did before Hammurabi.Maybe just because of him and the things he did while he was the ruler-alive we are the 'civilized' people we are today;maybe because of him we have roads,houses,building,stadiums,artifacts,museums, concquventes..... I'm not saying that if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have electricity or water in out houses,I'm saying if he didn't enforce them we wouldn't have those thing ,maybe we wouldn't,but we couldn't save the artifacts...Maybe it would happen because there would be a ruler after him but if non of the rulers after him did that...we probably wouldn't be here where we are.
