Stelae of Hammurabi

This is pretty neat. I've been reading about the laws of Hammurabi for what seems like ages in school and at home. And I have never actually looked at it. Pretty awesome. Felice moment right here.

The Code of Hammurabi is the best-preserved ancient law code. It was enacted by the Babylonia King Hammurabi and inscribed on the stelea and displayed in temples around the empire. It was codified aroudn 1760 BCE.
