Hummarabi's Code

Hello,

Today in class, first we reviewed all of the slides that we have previously done. Then we went over some new slides and took more notes about Sumer and Hummarabi's Code. Other than that we really didn't do much. Mr. Schick then gave us the rest of the class to do our blog and also to search Hummarabi's Code, find three of our favorite laws and post them on our blog along with many of our notes that we took today. Here are three of my favorite laws that I found online.

-If he has borne false witness in a civil law case, he shall pay the damages in that suit.

-If a man has borne false witness in a trial, or has not established the statement that he has made, if that case be a capital trial, that man shall be put to death.

-If a man has stolen goods from a temple, or house, he shall be put to death; and he that has received the stolen property from him shall be put to death.

What I thought was interesting is that there are a lot of laws that can be applied to today and some that are the same today, most of them are quite harsh however.
