Today we talked about Hammurabi's code, Pantheon, Epic of Gilgamesh and the Ziggurat. First I'm going to list 3 laws of Hammurabi's code because we had to.
1. If any one finds runaway male or female slaves in the open country and bring them to their masters, the master of the slaves shall pay him two shekels of silver.
2. If any one is committing a robbery and is caught, then he shall be put to death.
3. If a slave says to his master: "You are not my master," if they convict him his master shall cut off his ear.
Pantheon: "The Hall of Fame". A place with all the best of things .
"Epic of Gilgamesh" : world's first (surviving) epic; told about great flood
Ziggurat: Sumerian temple built on top of a "mountain" of earth.
That's all we really talked about....
