Origin of Babylonian Law |
|
| |
Babylonian Law is based on "lex talionis" or "an eye for an eye" with the law being equal to all, regardless of position and the commercialization of law considered an abomination against the meaning of law. |
|
| |
The enemy of Babylonian Law was Sumer Law or "Ur Law" which claimed such perversities as "all crime against slaves is commercial". As a result, the history of ancient civilization within Asia and the Middle East may be said to have been a struggle between these two competing views of the law with one believing Divine Law applies to all and the other being the priests of Ur, then the Am-Ur-Ites who believed the law is merely a commercial tool of power. |
