Monday. Today in class we learned that we started out in many different ages. Like the stone age, I'm sure you've all heard. The most important thing in civilizations was foods that could be stored like wheat or grain. This is why in a lot of old places we learned about granarys and other things
Tuesday- Today we learned about different civilizations. For instance we learned about the first form of writing, and that civilization. It was one of the first cities in the world, made by the Sumerians. They had a set of laws and everything else that I will talk about in the next post.
Wednesday- Today we talked about Hammarabis code, and we were to find some. Some of Hammarabis code consist of that if you steal from someone, you have to pay back twice of what you stole. If you cannot afford to pay it back, you will be killed. and that if a fire fighter is to steal from a burning house, that fire fighter will be thrown into the fire and burnt to death.
Friday- We talked more about Hammarbis code in class and we learned a lot more interesting stuff. Everyone shared the laws they found and so it was extremely interesting. For instance, if you steal cattle or livestock from a temple or a king, you must pay x4 of what you stole. If its from a regular man you pay x2 of what you stole. We also talked about why the punishment was so bad. It was because they want to discourage people from doing the crime, because they knew they would die if they did it and got caught.
