EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "HAMMURABIs CODE" - a black basalt stele that dates back to the late Larsa period, approximately between 1792 and 1750 B. C. The image beautifully captures the essence of this ancient artifact, which holds immense historical significance. The stele itself is an imposing structure, standing tall with its shadow cast against a backdrop of time. Its weathered appearance speaks volumes about its age and the passage of centuries since it was first created during the Bronze Age. This object serves as a tangible link to our past, offering glimpses into the complex legal system established by Hammurabi in Babylon. Etched onto its surface are inscriptions detailing Hammurabi's Code - one of humanity's earliest known written laws. These laws were intended to bring order and justice to society under Hammurabi's rule, ensuring fairness for all citizens. The presence of Shamash, the sun god associated with justice in Mesopotamian mythology, further emphasizes the importance placed on upholding these principles. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in human history when civilization began codifying laws for societal harmony. It reminds us that even amidst changing times and advancements in technology, fundamental concepts such as law and justice have remained pillars upon which societies thrive.
