Question

HEY CAN ANYONE ANSWER DIS PLS!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

The Code of Ur-Nammu is the oldest surviving law code. This text was written on clay tablets in the Sumerian language and is reckoned to have been produced towards the end of the 3rd millennium BC. The Code of Ur-Nammu may be divided into two parts, the first is the prologue and the second is the laws themselves. Apart from being the oldest surviving law code, the Code of Ur-Nammu is also important as it gives us a glimpse of the way justice was conceived in ancient Sumerian society.        

A Law Code Divided in Pieces

Earlier law codes, such as the Code of Urukagina, are known to exist. Nevertheless, the Code of Ur-Nammu is different in the sense that the text itself has survived to a large extent. The actual contents of the Code of Urukagina, by comparison, is now lost, and is only known through references made by other texts that have been discovered.
