Answer: The Code of Hammurabi is a set of laws created in Mesopotamia around the 18th century BC by King Hammurabi of the first Babylonian dynasty.

The code is based on the talon law, "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." It was printed on a block of rock using cuneiform writing.

The laws provided punishments for non-compliance with rules established in various areas such as family relations, commerce, construction, agriculture, livestock. The punishments occurred according to the position that the criminal person held in the social hierarchy.

Nowadays most of people do not have this idea to repay the same suffering that was caused, the idea of punishments according to hierarchy. It was an idea from the past, for people that lived in a different society, with a different structure as well.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

The Meiningers created a new trend of costumes for their theater productions.

Explanation:

The Meiningers were a group of theater established by Duke George II. He grabbed inspiration from the different places they went. He used his knowledge of art history to create detailed and historically costumes that compensate and helped create the scenery. The costumes were not only costumes, they were part of the story and played a great part when portraying any play. What made this group special and groundbreaking, is that in every play they try creating a very natural illusion where actors could show an authentic performance. After they travel with their tour, many countries start “copying” the costumes ideas, stating that the costumes were perfectly made and that they blended perfectly with every play.
