Hammurabi's Code was associated with which civilization?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mesopotamia
Hammurabi was the king of Babylon in the eighteenth century BCE, and Babylon was a major Mesopotamian kingdom. His famous code recorded laws dealing with property, trade, family matters, labour and punishments. Although it is often described as an early written law code, it reflected social differences and did not establish modern equality. Mesopotamia is therefore the correct civilization; Egypt, China and Greece are different contexts.
