Explanation:
The Chaldeans were the migrants to Mesopotamia and were not powerful than the Assyrians and the Babylonians who had established themselves in Mesopotamia. They later associated themselves to the Assyro - Babylonian culture after the fall of Babylonia in 539 BCE. The Chaldeans often ruled as their vassals with no important power. With the establishment of power by Nabopolassar, the founder of the Chaldean Empire and the father of Nebuchadnezzar II, the Chaldeans established their rule in Mesopotamia. The Chaldeans became even more powerful under Nebuchadnezzar II. The sources about him are also mentioned in the Bible, book of Daniel and in those inscriptions found in Mesopotamia. Though the Bible is not favourable to him, the people of Mesopotamia praise him as a great king. By 572 BC, he was in full control of Babylonia, Chaldea, Aramea, Phonecia, Israel, Judah, Philistia, Samarra, Jordan, northern Arabia, and parts of Asia Minor. History remembers him as a great king and the creator of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, which is among the seven wonders of the world.

The Code of Hammurabi can tell us much about ancient Babylonian society, but cannot show us everything. The law code was written for the audience of Babylonian people in its own day, especially the scribes and officers of the law. So there are many questions we would have from a distance much later in history that people then would have understood without needing explanation. The intention of the law code was to inform people of laws and punishments, not to give later generations a full view of the whole of Babylonian life. The law code was prepared by those in power in the government of Hammurabi -- we don't get any response from the people or indication of how the people then viewed the laws. And ultimately, the law code is written in a detached, impersonal way -- as legal documents generally are written. We don't get a feel for the personal lives or feelings of people living at that time in Babylonia.
