Really good! I enjoyed this one.
@varyolla435 Says:
As an aside. Think about the proscriptions enumerated in Hammurabi's Code - then think about when they date to. Now think about = the "10 Commandments".
Moral of the story: the Commandments appear to be a "Christianized" version of some of the old Babylonian code proscriptions. When one considers how the Babylonians controlled parts of what would become the "Jewish homeland" - upon which the Christian religion was based - then one sees the stereotypical "overlap" encountered between differing cultures for which the beliefs of one can insinuate themselves into subsequent cultures which follow.
The Christian Flood story as another example dovetails into the older Akkadian account. So these ancient codes and beliefs over time were adapted into what followed such as has become part of mainstream religions today. 🤔

Wow. His code had alot going on there...
@joseamadorsilva7395 Says:
My first knowledge of Hammurabi was as a young lad playing a game that was outdated even before I discovered it... a BASIC game by the name of.. Hammurabi
@ShepherdsCreek Says:
Iirc, hammurabi's code outlined the pretty dismal standing of women in Babylonian society.

You should do a biography on Frank Zappa. He was pretty significant and there isn’t any good biographies on him.
@mhub3576 Says:
Simon, what I believe is the third running of the Golden Globe Race is happening right now. So I have an idea for a couple biographies of two guys, heck maybe three, from the first. Bernard Moitessier, Robin Knox Johnston, and perhaps even Donald Crowhurst. Fair winds.....

@drswag0076 Says:
the code gave birth to the phrase "eye for an eye" meaning payback in the same way you were wronged.
@drswag0076 Says:
Hammurabi's ancestor was a man named Sumu-Abum who founded the dynasty followed by his son Sumu-la-El then Sabium then Hammurabi's grandfather, Apil-sin then his father the mentioned Sin-Muballit and then Hammurabi himself. and that is Hammurabi's family history and the early kings of Babylon.
@Gizzatow Says:
Хаммурапи-мой самый любимый царь из истории Древнего Востока)Ещё в раннем детстве я много раз конспектировал его правление и сделал первые буквы его и моего имени инициалами,которыми помечал свои вещи.До сих пор я использую его имя в своих псевдонимах и паролях.Наверно он был классный чувак,во всяком случае он давно запал в мою душу)

Future Video suggestion -
Eamon DeValera (1882-1975) - prominent political leader in 20th century Ireland who, after the Irish war of independence from 1919 to 1921, was in the public eye for over forty years from 1922 until his death were he served as head of government (Taoiseach) and head of state (president). He was nearly executed in the Easter Rising in 1916 and was key in putting into place the new constitution on 1937. A very prominent figure in Irish history.
