Code of hammurabi is the first relatively complete written code in the world, but it is not the earliest. The earliest one was called Ullner Mumma. The code tried its best to safeguard the unequal social hierarchy and the interests of the slave owners and nobles, which fully reflected the situation of ancient Babylonian society. The code is divided into three parts: preface, text and conclusion. There are 282 articles in the text, including litigation procedure, private property protection, tenancy, debt, usury and marriage and family.
Code of hammurabi is carved on a black basalt column, with a height of 2.25m, a length of1.65m last week and a bottom circumference of1.90m, with 3500 lines. There are 282 articles in the text, written in Akkadian. This is the oldest and most complete code in the world. This was compiled by Hammurabi in order to show his achievements to the gods.
