Lecture 8 the code of hammurabi
The Code of Hammurabi is one of the oldest known sets of laws, dating back to the 18th century BC in ancient Babylon. It was enacted by King Hammurabi and carved onto a large stone stele. The Code established civil and criminal laws for the Babylonian Empire and influenced later legal codes, including those of the Hebrew Bible. It provides insights into Babylonian social structure, family law, property, and concepts of justice in the ancient world.
Hammurabi
The Babylonian Empire was established around 2000 BC after the Amorites conquered the Akkadians and established their capital in Babylon on the Euphrates River. King Hammurabi ruled from 1792-1750 BC and expanded the empire throughout Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent by installing governors and judges to maintain order. Hammurabi collected and standardized existing laws into the first formal legal code, which was inscribed on stone pillars erected in major cities to ensure all citizens knew the laws and punishments. The Code of Hammurabi established principles of legal precedence and retaliation proportional to social status or crime.
The origins of islam sswh5ab
The document summarizes the origins and early history of Islam. It describes how Muhammad began receiving revelations from God in 610 CE and established the basic beliefs and practices of Islam. It discusses the migration of Muhammad's followers to Medina in 622 CE and the expansion of the Muslim community. The document also outlines the split between Sunni and Shi'a Muslims that emerged from a power struggle after Muhammad's death over who would lead the Muslim community.
Hammurabi’s code
Hammurabi's Code was the first complete system of written law, established around 1772 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia by King Hammurabi of Babylon. It laid out legal codes and corresponding punishments, with harsher penalties for lower social classes, and often violent punishments including death or removal of body parts. The Code was displayed publicly in Babylon so that all citizens could see and learn the laws. It influenced the development of later legal systems and codes.
Hammurabi code of laws
The document discusses Hammurabi, the king of Babylon who created one of the earliest known legal codes in ancient Mesopotamia. It provides background on Hammurabi and when the Code was written in cuneiform script on a large stone stele. It then lists several situations and asks the reader to decide what should be done according to the Code, providing Hammurabi's actual decrees for each situation. These include decrees about builders, nuns entering wine shops, debtors, wine sellers allowing criminals, adoption disputes, disrespectful wives, determining truths, and striking fathers. The document encourages writing a letter to the editor offering an opinion on one of the Codes.
LAWS OF HAMMURABI
Hammurabi was a king of Babylonia in the 18th century BCE who established one of the first written legal codes. He expanded Babylonia's control over Mesopotamia. Hammurabi is best known for the Code of Hammurabi, one of the earliest surviving sets of laws, which he had carved on a black stone stele. The laws covered areas like religion, trade, slavery, workers' duties, theft, food, and military service. Some laws also addressed medical malpractice and established fees physicians could charge for different types of medical treatments. The Code of Hammurabi introduced concepts like presumption of innocence, legal procedures, and codified legal practices.
The code of hammurabi
This presentation discusses the Code of Hammurabi, the first written law code created by King Hammurabi of Babylon in approximately 1780 BC. It provides background on Hammurabi, noting that he expanded the Babylonian empire through military victories. The Code of Hammurabi contained 282 laws that were inscribed on stone pillars and placed in public areas so citizens were aware. Some key principles included "an eye for an eye" retaliation and specific punishments for crimes like assaulting one's father. The Code was an important development as it established order and fairness during a time of wars and helped govern Babylon.
HOUSE OF WISDOM
The House of Wisdom in Baghdad was a major intellectual hub during the Islamic Golden Age. It was established by Caliph Harun al-Rashid in the 8th century and functioned as a library, translation institute, and research center where Greek and other works were translated into Arabic. Original scientific works were also produced. It helped preserve knowledge and drive new discoveries, but its destruction by Mongol invaders in the 13th century contributed to the end of the Golden Age of Muslims. The translations and spread of knowledge from the House of Wisdom nevertheless helped spark the European Renaissance when its works were rediscovered after the dark ages.

It shows the development of ancient Israelite civilization from the earliest Israelites under Abraham to the kingdom of Israel under David and Solomon to the growth and spread of Judaism among the Jewish people. The timeline gives important historical context for understanding the origins and evolution of the Jewish religion and culture.
Fall of the Roman Empire
Roman Empire's height through the fall of the Eastern Empire to the Ottoman-Turks. Includes Byzantines, Justinian Code, beginning of Christianity.
Ancient Greece World History
Greece's geography, with its mountainous terrain and proximity to the sea, influenced the development of trade and city-states. Early Greek civilizations like the Minoans and Mycenaeans engaged in seaborne trading. Later, Greeks founded autonomous city-states (polis) for protection and security. Athens emerged as the most powerful city-state during the Golden Age under the leadership of Pericles, establishing the world's first democratic system of government.
The Greek Legacy
This document summarizes key aspects of the transition from orality to literacy in ancient Greece. It discusses how the Phoenician alphabet was adapted by the Greeks and the impacts of writing and literacy on Greek thought and education according to scholar Eric Havelock. Important figures mentioned include Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Alexander the Great, and libraries such as the Library of Alexandria.
The achaemenid empire
The Medes and Persians migrated from central Asia to Persia (southwest Iran) where they established powerful empires. The Achaemenid Empire arose in the 6th century BCE under Cyrus the Great, who established the first Persian Empire and allowed conquered peoples to maintain their own traditions. At its height, the Empire stretched from Egypt to India. Subsequent rulers like Darius expanded the Empire through conquest and established infrastructure like the Royal Road. The Empire declined after defeats to Alexander the Great, though Persian cultural influences remained long after.
Ancient Rome
The document provides background on the founding and early history of Rome. It describes how Romulus and Remus founded Rome after being raised by a she-wolf. Over time Rome became a large, prosperous city under Etruscan kings. The Romans then overthrew the Etruscans and established a republic with elected leaders. Rome expanded across Italy and the Mediterranean, fighting three Punic Wars against Carthage to gain dominance of the region.
The Babylonians
Babylonia was an ancient Mesopotamian kingdom located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern-day Iraq. It consisted of many cities ruled by a king with a class system divided between nobles, free men, and slaves. The economy was based on agriculture including crops like barley. Socially, families and inheritance were important, and education was available to wealthy children. Religiously, Babylonians were polytheistic and celebrated gods through festivals. Culturally, they made contributions including the Code of Hammurabi, advances in science like the lunar calendar, and impressive architectural structures like ziggurats.
Sumer civilization
The Sumer civilization thrived in ancient Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern-day Iraq. It was the first civilization to develop systems of writing, government, religion, economic classes, advanced architecture like ziggurats, science, arts, and literature such as the Epic of Gilgamesh. The Sumerians invented innovations like the wheel, plow, calendar, bronze metallurgy, silver currency, and the first written legal code. However, rivalry among Sumerian city-states led to decline, and the Akkadian Empire later conquered and unified the region under rulers like Sargon I.
Religion on the Silk Road
The document discusses religion on the Silk Road. It introduces Buddhism and how it spread from India along the Silk Road during the Han Dynasty, with influential monks helping spread Buddhism to China between the 3rd-10th centuries. Islam also spread significantly along the Silk Road, with the Umayyad Caliphate based in Damascus and the Abbasid Empire's capital in Baghdad becoming important trade centers. By the 10th century, Islamic expansion disrupted trade and Buddhism declined. Christianity had less influence in China compared to Buddhism and Islam. The document also briefly mentions Manichaeism originating from the prophet Mani in 3rd century Persia.
The Rise of the Persian Empire
1) Persia arose as a power in 550 BC under Cyrus the Great and came to rule an empire stretching from the Indus River to Anatolia.
2) Cyrus was a remarkable ruler who treated conquered peoples kindly and allowed freedoms of religion and self-governance within his empire.
3) Subsequent rulers like Cambyses expanded the empire but were less benevolent, while Darius organized the administration and established infrastructure like the Royal Road.
Spanish Inquisition
The document discusses the Spanish Inquisition which began in 1478 and lasted until 1834. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella established the Inquisition to maintain Catholicism in Spain and inspect the genuineness of conversions after Jews and Muslims had decided to convert to Christianity to escape persecution in previous years. The Inquisition used methods like censorship, torture, and burning people at the stake to establish political and religious unity as well as weaken the monarchy's opponents and do away with power of religious minorities.
The Roman Empire
The document provides an overview of the history and government of ancient Rome. It describes how Rome transitioned from being ruled by kings to a republic governed by the Senate. It then outlines the four main social classes in Roman society - slaves, plebeians, equestrians, and nobles. Several important figures are also discussed, including Julius Caesar, as well as some iconic locations in Rome like the Colosseum and Circus Maximus.
The Middle Ages introduction and overview
The Middle Ages were the period in European history between 500-1500 AD. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD. Key events in the Early Middle Ages included the rise of Islam and barbarian kingdoms, as well as the rule of Charlemagne. Europe faced invasions from Vikings, Muslims, and Magyars in the 800s-900s, leading to the rise of feudalism and knights. The High Middle Ages saw increased stability, growth of towns/cities, Crusades, and the establishment of kingdoms like England and universities.
The Crusades[1]
The document provides background information on the Crusades:
Pope Urban II called for the Crusades in the 11th century to retake the Holy Lands from the Seljuk Turks. He hoped this would unite Christianity and increase the power and prestige of the Church. Thousands answered the call for religious and political reasons. The Crusades had mixed success in retaking lands but ultimately failed in their goal. They led to increased trade and the rise of stronger centralized monarchies in Europe.
Ancient african civilization
Ancient African Civilizations such as Kush, Axum, Ghana, Mali, Songhai and the Bantu peoples flourished between 750 BCE to 1500CE. They developed complex societies, economies and trade networks across diverse geographical zones in Africa. Major trading empires like Ghana and Mali grew wealthy through the trade of gold, salt and other goods. States such as Great Zimbabwe emerged in Southern Africa and traded gold with Swahili port cities on the East Coast.
The Crusades
The document discusses the Crusades, a series of religious wars launched by the Catholic Church between the 11th and 13th centuries with the goal of regaining control of Christian holy sites in Jerusalem from Muslim rule. Pope Urban II initiated the First Crusade by calling on European Christians to fight to reclaim the Holy Land. While the Crusades succeeded in temporarily taking Jerusalem, they ultimately failed in permanently retaking and maintaining control of the Holy Land from Muslim powers like Saladin.
Mesopotamian civilization
The document provides an overview of the ancient Mesopotamian civilization located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern-day Iraq. Key points include: the Sumerians established city-states around 3000 BC and developed writing, agriculture, and organized religion; cities were ruled independently but often in conflict over resources; the landscape comprised river basins that provided fertile soil for farming when flooded.
King john and magna carta
King John faced several problems as king that upset both the Church and his barons. In 1215, the barons rebelled against King John and forced him to agree to the Magna Carta, which established for the first time that the king was not above the law and had to respect the basic rights of freemen and the nobility. The Magna Carta went on to become one of the most important documents in English legal history, still influencing legal systems today with principles such as equality under the law and the right to a fair trial.
Umayyad Caliphate
The Umayyad dynasty expanded the Islamic empire greatly after the death of Muhammad. Under the Umayyads, the Islamic empire grew to span parts of Africa, Asia, and Europe within 100 years. The Umayyad armies began with hit-and-run raids and soon launched organized campaigns of conquest, taking control of most of Central Asia by the 700s and North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula by 711. However, over time unrest grew under the Umayyads as they neglected Islamic law and treated some groups, such as non-Arabs, as second-class. This led to their overthrow by the Abbasids in 750.
Mesopotamia
Mesopotamia was the first civilization in history located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern Iraq, Syria, and surrounding areas. It began as independent Sumerian city-states like Ur and Uruk before being unified under empires like the Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, and Neo-Babylonian. Mesopotamian society was hierarchical with kings and priests at the top. Their economy was based on irrigated agriculture and they developed writing, mathematics, astronomy, law codes, and architectural achievements like ziggurats and arches. Their polytheistic religion influenced later civilizations.
Mannerism (Late Renaissance Art)
After the end of the High Renaissance in the 1520s, Renaissance art continued to evolve as artists challenged the classical conventions of grace, symmetry, and proportion. The style of Mannerism emerged in the mid-sixteenth century with elongated figures that were painted to inspire a sense of grandeur and emotion rather than striving after ideal beauty.
The Mannerist style of painting can be best seen in Michelangelo's later works and in the works of Parmigianino and El Greco.
George Washington's Foreign Policy
As the French Revolution began to shake the foundations of Europe, George Washington found himself stuck between the Federalists, who wanted to strengthen economic ties with Britain, and the Jeffersonians, who wanted to the United States to express solidarity with her sister republic in France. Caught between two extremes, Washington chose the middle path of neutrality. The Citizen Genet affair and the unpopular Jay treaty presented challenges to Washington's administration, while Pinckney's Treaty settled boundary and navigation disputes with Spain.

The Golden Age of Latin Literature
The Golden Age of Latin Literature spanned from the time of Cicero to the death of Augustus. The Golden Age is divided into two periods: Ciceronian and Augustan. Writers of the Ciceronian period included Cicero (its namesake), Julius Caesar, and Catullus. Writers of the Augustan period included Livy, Virgil, Horace, and Ovid. Livy's History of Rome remains the most authoritative work on the earliest history of Rome. Virgil and Horace were both supported by Augustus, as these writers were very supportive of him in appreciation for his patronage. Ovid, whose poetry did not align as well with Augustus' civic goals, found himself exiled to Tomis on the Black Sea, where he spent the last decade of his life in sorrow.
The Road to Civil War (1850-1860)
This PowerPoint presentation is designed to cover a lecture on the events leading to the American Civil War between the Compromise of 1850 and the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. It includes the controversies surrounding the strenghtened Fugitive Slave Law, the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, Bleeding Kansas, the Brooks-Sumner incident, Nativism, the Dred Scott decision, the Lincoln-Douglas debates, John Brown's Harpers Ferry raid, and the election of Abraham Lincoln.
Ancient Israel (Division and Diaspora)
This PowerPoint presentation was created to accompany a lecture on the division of ancient Israel into two kingdoms (Israel and Judah) and the subsequent conquest of these kingdoms by the Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian Empires. The fall of Israel and Judah resulted in a diaspora (scattering) of peoples across the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions. After Cyrus the Great of Persia conquered the Babylonian Empire, he allowed Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild their temple. In the centuries that followed, a messianic tradition developed, which promised a deliverer who would restore the Kingdom of Judah. Zionism emerged in the late 19th century with a similar goal of restoring a sovereign Jewish homeland. The modern nation of Israel, founded in 1948, represents the realization of the goals of the Zionist movement. To this day, modern Israelis contest over this land with its neighbors much like their ancestors did three thousand years ago.
The Whiskey Rebellion
The Whiskey Rebellion was an uprising of Western Pennsylvania farmers between 1791-1794 in response to Alexander Hamilton's excise tax on whiskey. A federal militia was organized in 1794 to put down the rebellion. When the rebels dispersed without a single shot being fired, Hamilton and the Federalists hailed it as a victory for the newly formed federal government created by the United States Constitution.
Principles of the Constitution
The United States Constitution provides three supports for limited government: federalism, separation of powers, and the Bill of Rights.
Legacies of the American Revolution
How revolutionary was the American Revolution? Historians generally classify the American Revolution as more of a political revolution than a social revolution, but there were some very important changes in American society following the Revolution that should not be overlooked. The ideals of the American Revolution were rooted in classical republicanism and egalitarian values, which can be seen in the prohibition of titles of nobility, the gradual emancipation of slaves in the North, and in laws guaranteeing religious liberty. While women did not gain the ability to vote after the Revolution, the ideal of republican motherhood necessitated a greater role for women in the education of their children. More than anyone else, George Washington embodied the republican ideals of the American Revolution, as seen in is commitment to agriculture, civic duty, and republican simplicity.
The American Enlightenment
This PowerPoint presentation was created to accompany a US History lecture on the American Enlightenment and its influence on American Founding Fathers, such as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Paine.

Researchers found that those who received the drug performed significantly better on memory and problem-solving tests at the end of the study compared to those who received the placebo.

Mitt Romney's Trump Speech: A Modern Philippic
On Thursday, Mitt Romney delivered a scathing speech against Donald Trump, the current frontrunner for the GOP nomination. This speech was a philippic, closely following the format of the great Athenian orator, Demosthenes, who delivered three speeches in a vain attempt to rally his fellow Athenians against Philip II of Macedon. Cicero, the great Roman statesman and orator, used the same type of rhetoric in his fourteen philippics against Marcus Antonius in the final days of the Roman Republic.
Using historical synthesis, I argue that Mitt Romney's philippic won't be a decisive factor in the fight for the GOP nomination.
Copernicus and Galileo: A Scientific Revolution
These slides were designed to accompany a lecture on Copernicus and Galileo and their contributions to the development of heliocentric theory during the Scientific Revolution.
Trump and Hitler Compared
Godwin's Law states, "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1." Lately, no internet discussion about Donald Trump can be complete without at least one reference to Hitler. I've been asked by several people to evaluate these comparisons, so I designed these slides to accompany a recent lecture comparing Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler, noting similarities, differences, and nuances.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
