A review by mikuthemuso
The Code of Hammurabi by Hammurabi

2.0

The most interesting parts of this text were the mention of women, corn , God, and slaves. A lot of mention of agriculture which I found interesting, the corn reminds me of Mexican Aztec culture. The polytheism and devotional content at the beginning and the end remind me of the Bhagavata Purana and the Vedas. Slaves reminds me of Israelite Torah. There's bits and pieces of information, but most of all, it is simply a lawbook. It is not an anthropological study on anything. I found Leviticus much more interesting, as its a book of rituals for priests.
