Good morning sir, my name is Nancy Annan. Today I'm going to give my presentation on the topic. Code of Hammurabi. So first of all, coming to the introductory part, Hammurabi, Hammurabi was the ruler who chiefly established the greatness of Babylon, the world's first metropolises. Many relics of Hammurabi's Ryan, That's back, 1795-1700 BC have been preserved and today we can study this remarkable king as a wise lawgiver in his calibrated code. By far the most remarkable of the Hammurabi's record in his Code of Laws, the earliest known example of a ruler program proclaiming publically to his people and entire body of laws errands in orderly groups so that all men might read and know what was required of them. The code was carved upon a black stone monument eight ft high and clearly intended to be reared in public view. This noted stone was found in the year 1901 not in Babylon, but in a city of the Persian mountains, to which some latter conqueror must have carried it in a triumph. It begins and ends with addresses to the gods, Even a law code was in those days regarded as a subject for prayer, that the prayers here are chiefly cursing of whoever sells neglect or destroy the law. Yet even with this earliest set of laws as with most things Babylonian, we find ourselves dealing with the end of things rather than the beginnings. Hammurabi's code was not really the earliest. The preceding sets of laws have disappeared, but we have found several traces of them and Hammurabi's own code clearly implies their existence. He is, but reorganizing the legal system long established. Now coming to the code of Hammurabi, that is Babylonian law. So the material for the study of Babylonian law is singularly extensive without being exhaustive. The so called contracts, including a great variety of deeds, conveyances, bonds, received accounts and most important of all the actual legal decisions given by diseases in the law courts exist in thousands historical inscriptions. Royal charters and rescript dispatches, private letters and the central literature afford welcome supplementary information. Even grammatical and lexical graphical works intended solely to facilitate the study of ancient literature contains many extract or sword sentences bearing on law and custom. The so called sumerian family laws are just preserved. The discovery of the now calibrated code of hammurabi hearing, simply termed the code has however, made more systematic study possible than could have resulted from the classification and interpretation of the other material. Some fragments of a latter co exist and have been published, but there still remain many points upon which we have no evidence. This material dates from the earliest times down to the commencement of our era. The evidence upon a particular point may be very full at one per year and almost entirely lacking at another. The court funds the backbone of this Clayton and sketch, which is here reconstructed. The fragments of it, which have been recovered from a Sir Bani People's library at Navient and latter Babylonian copies, so that it was studied divided into chapters until Nino ella siren from its opening words and re copied for the 15th, 1500 years or more. So now coming to some of the courts of laws uh that was written at that time. So if anyone ensnared another, putting a ban upon him but he cannot prove it, then he that ensnared him shall be put to death. If anyone bring an accusation against a man and the accused go to the river and leapt into the river. If he sink in the river, his accuser shall take possession of his house. But if the river proof that the accused is not guilty and he escape unhurt, then he who had brought the accusation shall be put to death while he who lived into the river Celtic position of the house that had belonged to his accuser. If anyone bring an accusation of any crime before the elders and does not proved what he had charged, he shall if he be a capital offense, charged, he is put to death. If anyone steal the property of a temple or the court, he shall be put to death. And also the one who receives the stolen thing from him shall be put to death. If anyone by from the sun or the slave of another man without witnesses or a contract, silver or gold, a male or a female slave, an ox or asleep. And as or anything or if he takes it in charge, he is considered as a thief and shall be put to death. So that's all from my side. Thank you very much. Mhm.
