Origin[]
The Code of Hammurabi is a well-preserved Babylonian law code of ancient Mesopotamia, dating back to about 1754 BC. It is one of the oldest deciphered writings of significant length in the world. The sixth Babylonian king, Hammurabi, enacted the code, and partial copies exist on a human-sized stone stele and various clay tablets.
The one excavated in 1901 was only a “rough draft” of the actual tablet, which this is.
Effects[]
When touched, the user will try to punish anyone that has injured them with the same act. The user will stop at nothing until the goal is accomplished, even if it means violating others.
