Title: Hammurabi Pdf A Captivating Guide to the Sixth King of the First Babylonian Dynasty, Including the Code of Hammurabi
Explore the captivating history of Hammurabi.
The story of Hammurabi is the story of 43 years jam-packed with conquest, temple- and wall-building, irrigation efforts, and lawmaking, but it's also a story of broken relations and rising and falling empires.
It's a story of betrayal and shifting alliances, a story where even the gods take a backseat to the matters of common men. It's a tale that's both thousands of years old and, interestingly enough, just as contemporary as it was when Hammurabi still drew breath. And like all great tales of history, it's a yarn that teaches the common man that no feat of greatness comes without a price and that human nature is just as complex as it was when Babylonians praised Marduk and hailed Hammurabi as a god in his own right.

Love captivating history I get a number of the books from them. It a great way to learn history and not get bored.The name "Hammurabi"........... The name Hammurabi" or "Ham-murabi" means "Leader of All". And that's Persian. Throughout all these ancient empires, especially that of the Sumerians, the Zoroastrian (or Zorastrian) religion was the common thread that was woven into their cultures. That monotheistic faith in its many forms, is 14,000 years old. Mesopotamia (Iraq) was once a part of the Persian Empire and it was King Cyrus (Kurosh) the Persian king who later rescued the Israelites from bondage in Babylon.Reads like modern history! It can be hard to follow at times because of the unusual names. But it also reads very fast. We see Hammurabi and his foes and friends as very modern-type rulers motivated by the same sorts of things. Conflict in the Middle East is nothing new and if you want to understand the most ancient civilization of them all--Babylon--this is a great overview! Highly recommended!
