  • @nixter888 that is greek mythology. This is real

  • i agree

  • This has nothing to do with Hammurabi or his code of laws, yes it mentions him and some of what he did but laws are not all that were made he also institutionalized schools to make learning accessible to everyone. Not to mention the fact that he instated the first building codes that have been written down. This should be changed from Hammuabi's Code of Laws to, This Clip Deals With Laws And Does A Slight Brush Over There Origins.

  • LOL Justice has nothing to do with the law

  • by the code of hammurabi both yo eyeballs will be taken they'll be plucked from ya head holes and shown to your body

  • The oldes laws of the world are the laws of Mino's of Crete who took the laws directly from God zeus,thousand of years before Hammurabi! it's called the THE OLDEST LAW....He was praised as a model lawgiver, the author of the most admired laws of Crete, that he was said to owe Zeus himself, whom he kept visiting every nine years in theMount Ida . This was.the beginning of the Laws.Hammurabi got his laws from minos!

  • Justice, is a myth
