The Rise of Early Civilizations
By the early fourth millennium B.C., the population of the Tigris - Euphrates
increased; and city-states arose. By 2000 BC the cities of Sumer
had grown so large that some like Ur, the capital city, had populations
more than 200,000 persons.

Hammurabi, the Priest King Hammurabi (ca. 1792 - 1750 BC) united all of Mesopotamia under his forty-three year reign of Babylon. Although Hammurabi's Code is not the first code of laws (the first records date four centuries earlier), it is the best preserved legal document reflecting the social structure of Babylon during Hammurabi's rule. About the Code Two hundred eighty-two laws, concerning a wide variety of abuses, justify Hammurabi's claim of having acted "like a real father to his people . . . [who] has established prosperity . . . and (gave) good government to the land." See for Yourself The laws were discovered in 1901 on a stela now in the Louvre Museum of Paris, France. What Other Have to Say Every now and then, I hear from people who enjoy the site. And fortunately, most of the word is good. |

Murals |
MURALS
by PHILLIP MARTIN They weren't my own
brilliant idea. The murals kind of took on a life of their own because
of the free clip art. It started with an email from Namibia, but now you
never know where I might show up with brush in hand.
