Ancient Mesopotamia
The first civilizations were born near to rivers. People of the ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, and China built cities, writing and created laws for people, while Europeans were living in caves and hunting. A civilization is a culture were people share religious, art, and other things.
Ancient people believed in the divine theory, which is a belief that the god chose him to be the king. One of the earliest civilization in the world is located in Iraq, which was known in ancient time as Mesopotamia.
By 3000 B.C. the Sumerian created city states. Then, these city-states began to fight over water, land, and resources because there was short in supplies.
The Empire of Hammurabi
In 1792 B.C. Mesopotamia was controlled by a new empire. It was based in Babylon, a city-state north Akkad. A man named Hammurabi came to power and disciplined army. Hammurabi called himself “the sun of Babylon” after he created a new Mesopotamian Kingdom.
Hammurabi was a great warrior. He built temples and irrigation canals. He also encourages trade. However, Hammurabi's Empire collapsed after his death, in 1750 B.C. Hammurabi created a law that was a collection of 282 laws, and its named was the Code of Hammurabi. His laws was based on strike justice because he wanted to prevent conflicts. One fundamental code was “ an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth,” which this law was kind of unfair.
