Twelve hundred years before the Days of Nebuchadnezzar‚ King Hammurabi of the first Babylonian empire formulated the earliest known set of civil laws. These laws would be applied to every person in his kingdom. The laws would formally define the criminal‚ economic and social order within the empire.

Hammurabi Was Unfair Hammurabi was the king of Babylon. He started in 1750 BCE-1792 BCE‚ Babylon is in modern day Iraq. In 1750 BCE there were two rivers that went through Babylon‚ the Tigris river and the Euphrates river.
