The Ancient Code That Defined Justice for the First Time | Relaxing History Documentary

Hammurabi, the sixth king of Babylon, is one of the most iconic rulers of the ancient world. Best known for his famous law code—one of the earliest and most complete legal documents in human history—Hammurabi's reign marked a turning point in Mesopotamian politics, administration, and justice. This documentary explores the full story of Hammurabi: his rise to power, his military campaigns to unify Mesopotamia, his legal reforms, and his legacy as a king who sought order through law. But Hammurabi was more than just a lawgiver—he was a shrewd diplomat, a religious patron, and a master of statecraft. Through historical evidence, archaeological records, and close examination of the Code of Hammurabi, we reveal how one man’s rule helped define the nature of kingship and justice for centuries to come. 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:00:52 - Part 1 – The Land Between Two Rivers 00:11:22 - Part 2 – Birth of a King 00:22:29 - Part 3 – Babylon in the Shadow of Giants 00:32:58 - Part 4 – The Wars of Unification 00:43:01 - Part 5 – The Fall of Eshnunna and Mari 00:52:50 - Part 6 – The King as Shepherd 01:02:15 - Part 7 – The Dawn of the Law Code 01:12:55 - Part 8 – The Stela of Justice 01:23:35 - Part 9 – Life Under the Code 01:34:15 - Part 10 – The Law and the Gods 01:44:55 - Part 11 – The Empire’s Golden Years 01:54:50 - Part 12 – Shadows on the Horizon 02:05:07 - Part 13 – Death of the Lawgiver 02:14:58 - Part 14 – The Collapse of Babylonian Unity 02:24:36 - Part 15 – The Eternal Code
