Today we're taking a look at Hammurabi, also known as Hammu-rapi if you want to be a bit closer to the Akkadian original.

Hammurabi (1810 BCE - 1750 BCE) was the 6th Amorite king of Babylon. He reigned for 42 years.

Some notable feats or facts include
>Transformed Babylon from a smaller kingdom to a major Mesopotamian power
>Founded the Old Babylonian Empire
>Conquered Larsha, Eshnunna, and Mari
>Destroyed the Assyrian Kingdom of Upper Mesopotamia and ousted Ishme-Dagan I, beginning the eternal Babylon vs. Assyria rivalry
>Issued his famous law code for which he's best known for today
>One of the first codes to place emphasis on punishment rather than compensation
>Had steles of his law code parked all over Mesopotamia so people would know the laws
>Heard from a professor once that he hired people to stand next to it to tell people what the laws were in the event they couldn't read so that nobody had the illiteracy excuse for breaking a law they didn't know about. But take this with a grain of salt.
>Also one of the first to establish presumption of innocence
>Popularized the worship of Marduk, Babylon's national god
>Deified in life. The name Hammurabi-ili ("Hammurabi is my god") was common both during and after his life.
>Inscribed on the southern frieze of the USA's capital building
>Famous stele now sits in the Louvre

Discuss the the dude who invented eye for an eye, AKA Lex Talionis.

The meanings of some of the words are still debated but it's overall fully translated minus a small bit or two missing

nope. that would be Justinian.

Hammurabi was a jerk. He single handedly ruined the world. That law code of his became the template for the Abrahamic religions. Code of Hammurabi = Mosaic Law = Sharia Law.

>eyerolls at "our great civilization"
Gender conflicted, arrogant, lacking self awareness, proclaiming everything they are onto their enemy. Garden variety counter-revolutionary, bourgeois, degenerate, brainwashed by constant negative propaganda from (((her master))).

>My work looks at how ordinary explanations turn social pressure into personal failure,
Classic defeatist parasite class who can only see a means of production via "destructive revolution". Ergo, "sacrificing people for profit".

A charlatan's pamplet.

A feckless materialist and a reductionist at that. She could have bagged her an Ethan Ralph if she learned to smile and look pretty once in a while...

>After years of watching it normalize submission, blame the victim, and reinforce the system’s logic, she stopped trying to heal — and started dismantling.
Oh, wow, a woman who is going to "Smash the _____!" and replace it with her foreigner and pederasts allies?!

Why does she alienate Hammurabi?...
>It’s thrown at you not when you’re genuinely malicious but when you stop being convenient. You become “terrible” the moment you refuse to play the assigned role.
...and she will NEVER submit to a man-pig!!!

I remember reading in a book once that one of the cities this guy was aligned with had a prince named after him while he was alive
Bro had massive aura. I always wonder about how he felt about people worshipping him all the time as a living god. Unfortunately a lot of personal thoughts of people from that time's been lost.
