The "Code of Hammurabi" was born around 1776 BC. It is the holy book of the Babylonian country. The king of Babylon was also named Hammurabi, so this code is named after the king.

, but we are currently just using it as a reference.

"The Code of Hammurabi", what kind of book is this and why do we need to refer to it? In fact, this book is equivalent to our modern law. What it talks about is that everything must be done in an absolutely fair plan.

So what is fairness? "The Code of Hammurabi" is fairness, which is the will of the gods. All the rules and words in this book are formulated by the gods. We can understand it this way, and that's fine.

There are many things in this code. Let's take a look at it. It usually says: If a superior person hurts the eyes of another superior person, he should be blinded.

If a superior man breaks the leg of another superior man, he should break his leg.

If a superior man hurts a commoner's eye or breaks his leg, he should compensate him ten grams of silver.

If a superior man blinds or breaks a bone in the slave of another superior man, he should compensate the slave half of his value.

If a superior man beats another superior woman and causes a miscarriage, he should compensate the woman one gram of silver.

If a superior man beats a superior woman to death, he should kill the superior man's daughter.

If a superior man beats a commoner woman and causes the commoner woman to miscarry, he should pay 0.5 grams of silver.

If a superior man beats this commoner woman to death, he should pay three grams of silver.

If a superior man beats another superior man's female slave and causes a miscarriage, he should pay two grams of silver.

If a superior person kills the child of another superior person, he should also kill the child of this superior person.

…

Let's stop here. The price of compensation is my own estimate, but the data should be similar. Anyway, the entire "Code of Hammurabi" actually talks about law, but in this law there are superior people, civilians, and slaves.

From here, it is not difficult to see that the value of these three types of people is different. Sometimes civilians are not as valuable as slaves. What are civilians? They are farmers, and what are slaves? They can also be children sold by farmers, or children sold by farmers.

I count myself, so what are the upper class? They are the management class, or the rich, that’s all I need to understand.

Finally, Hammurabi said at the end of the book, this is the most just ruling made by our very capable king Hammurabi, guiding this land towards the path of truth and the right path of life.

It is not difficult for us to see from here that this is actually serious nonsense according to our modern thinking and point of view. But now we have to understand that in the Babylonian Empire, children were the property of their parents, and they were not the property of their parents.

The concept of life, for example, if a superior person kills the child of another superior person, he should also kill the child of this superior person. In fact, there is no equality here, or what the gods say, all living beings

The concept of equality.

Another thing, in fact, before the reunification of the Qin State, China had a similar law, that is, civilians can only be civilians, and children born to civilians can only be civilians, just like the cooperative relationship between bees. As for this, we will explain it in detail later.

To chat.

So now we just have a general understanding of these laws and the like, and besides, these laws we just talked about are all laws that took shape later and have a certain climate, such as the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi, the Babylonian Empire

The population is estimated to be approximately one million.

But we still have to go back to the era of our ancestors. The rules and so on in the era of our ancestors were even worse. It was a complete mess. It can be said that it even reached a perverted level. Let’s not talk about whose family the gods needed.

The child's blood sacrifice must be sacrificed by the family for free. In other words, it is not illegal for a manager to kill civilians. Anyway, as long as we understand that the rules do not have the concept of equality for everyone today.

Already.

What's more, these rules and the like are a bit vague in themselves. Why do you say this? First of all, the writing system is too complicated and few people know it. God knows what is written, but someone is going to say it. Since it is written down, it is us Homo sapiens.

The truth of the times. No! Who can guarantee that those who read these rules will not deliberately read the rules inside incorrectly? After all, other people don’t know how to read, right?

Therefore, there are more civil strife, and even management defects. Even our ancestors have a very vague concept of numbers. For example, our ancestors have no concept of numbers at all, because whether it is navigation technology or the change of seasons in agriculture, etc.,

All of this is shown in extremely abstract words and pictures. Therefore, the overall structure of the tribe of our ancestors in this era is not at all as perfect as we imagined.

However, sophisticated weapons, stored grain, and a large population are all real existences. There are also large-scale disputes over wheat fields, land, and even prey, and even copper mines. There is also a large amount of promotion and promotion of heroism.

Popularity, myths and stories are complicated, and there are all kinds of gods, and the gods all have tempers and their own ideas. For example, let’s take an example: For example, the sun god does not like the eagle god, or

I don’t like the God of Death, because the God of Death symbolizes darkness, so this is also an excuse for huge conflicts between tribes.

Therefore, the conflicts that occurred in our ancestors' era were too frequent and were simply global in nature. Various tribes were fighting almost every day. Moreover, there were no large carnivores to cause trouble, but there were only a few scattered ones.

Large animals don’t dare to cause trouble. This is a battlefield with broadswords, long swords, even copper shields, light copper armor, even sophisticated bows and arrows, and horses. This is no longer a joke, it’s not a group of people.

He took the stones and threw them one by one. The killing was a scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, intestines everywhere, and even white pulp all over the ground.

This kind of conflict between tribes consumes a large number of people, because they all died in the battle. Another point is that since our ancestors have killed Homo sapiens, what about other races? Can we keep them alive?

?Are you kidding? Our ancestors now kill our own race, Homo sapiens, with the primary purpose of maiming, killing, and crippling them. What about other races?

Nowadays, other races still have a cooperative relationship with dozens of people, or no more than a hundred people. Compared with our Homo sapiens ancestors who are already at the top of the food chain, they have no advantage now. Maybe our Homo sapiens ancestors could beat them before.

It was more difficult, but it is not difficult now. For example, in the current conflict between tribes of our ancestors, a small conflict may be a battlefield where hundreds of people are bloody and bloody. What about their dozens of stronger people?

So when our Homo sapiens ancestors killed their own people, they also exterminated all other human races! Completely annihilate them. After all, if they are not my kind, their hearts must be different. We can't keep them. After all, they don't understand the language and have different clothes.

, technology is also different, and because other races still have a relatively primitive cooperative relationship, their tempers may be worse than those of our Homo sapiens ancestors. Therefore, conflicts and this incident of extinction are completely understandable.

At this point, during the period of conflict and war between our Homo sapiens ancestors and their own race, they also wiped out all other human races, because for our Homo sapiens ancestors who were so well-equipped and had such a large number of warriors, it was too difficult to kill other human races.

Growing a race of dozens of people is like a simple hunt.

So the biggest headache for our ancestors is Homo sapiens fighting Homo sapiens, because the technology and everything are similar, it depends on which tribe has braver warriors, or has a larger population, or even has a better brain. Anyway, military skills have begun to develop.

That is to say, the tactics used in combat. Anyway, it is relatively simple at this time. For example, you can lay an ambush in advance, or use a trick, and use the vanguard to lure the enemy to a narrow place to surround and kill. Anyway, it is relatively simple.

.

But in any case, after thousands of years of fighting, it is like a fight between gods and gods. For example, it is like seeing whether the sun god is more powerful or the eagle god is more powerful. Anyway, the loser is not the one who is defeated.

To kill all the slaves is to bring back some slaves, or directly sacrifice them to the gods. Anyway, the loser will not have a good ending. It is precisely because there is no good end for the loser, so the conflict between tribes is absolute.

A fight to the death!

But let’s first understand another situation. Because of the great collision between our Homo sapiens tribes, other races that were not Homo sapiens were completely exterminated. Now, the only human race left on the earth today is the remaining

We, Homo sapiens, have enough data to show that our Homo sapiens ancestors have no possibility of socializing with them, because all of our Homo sapiens genes do not have genes from any other race, and those genes are all sleeping in the fossils.

, maybe in the future when our human technology is more advanced, we can activate those sleeping genes? But we won’t talk about this now, because regarding activated genes, this is just our current imagination.

But when other races were eliminated, too many myths and stories were left behind, too many! For example, in my personal opinion, there may be a race that looks like a wolf. Later, because the stories at that time were spread beyond recognition, this became

There were werewolves, or even vampires with wings, or some races of people were too tall, so there were legends of giants. Maybe the giants were only half a meter taller than our homo sapiens? And this became more and more popular later.

It's outrageous, and the more it spreads, the more incredible it becomes. In the end, we Homo sapiens stood in front of the giant and could only squeeze our teeth. But we can still continue to see through this vague veil of myth and imagine that our Homo sapiens ancestors once competed with those who were better than us.

The Homo sapiens race is taller and even much stronger than us, and they engage in huge and bloody battlefields like that.

I have to say that whether our Homo sapiens ancestors treated any human race with such atrocities, if we understand it from the perspective of our modern people, it is too violent and does not look like good people at all.

However, as a Homo sapiens, I would like to say something for our ancestors: There were so many human races back then, and as long as our Homo sapiens race loses to any one race, there will be no us today, so I selfishly think
