The Code of Hammurabi: Justice or Class Control? | LM-Pod #7

The Code of Hammurabi: Justice or Class Control? ------------------- Hammurabi. You know the name. You know the code. But you don't know the story. Most of us think of him as an ancient judge handing out "eye for an eye" justice. But the real Hammurabi was something far more complex: a ruthless conqueror, a bureaucratic genius, and the man who invented the first surveillance state. In this video, we break down the 40-year reign of the King of Babylon. We explore how he took a tiny city-state of 50 square miles and turned it into a massive empire—not just with swords, but with canals, spies, and a propaganda campaign that turned his local god into the king of heaven. We also dive deep into the famous Code. Was it really about justice? Or was it a sophisticated tool to protect the wealthy and maintain class control? #Hammurabi #AncientHistory #CodeOfHammurabi
