Hammurabi was a born leader; he claimed many city-states and ruled the town’s people with fair but strict control. He in fact was the 6th ruler of the Babylonian, as well as being responsible for restoring the order and justice for the people of Mesopotamia. In about 1786 Hammurabi organized a set of codes, which was probably not his own creation but a continuation of a passed legal system. Hammurabi’s code consisted of 282 laws that governed over family, crime, ethics, business, and trade, as well as every single aspect of the lives in which his people led. Many of his codes were harsh and cruel for instance, one of his most infamous codes is number 196, “If a man put out the eye of another man, his eye shall be put out.” His codes were fair

Imagine having your rights ignored to dealing with broken promises, and having to fight for what is yours. In the end, you are tricked or just too plain tired to fight anymore and go on a journey9. A journey where as each mile that goes by, you leave behind a mother, a father, a brother, and a friend.
