HAMMURABI KING
KING OF BABYLONIA, HE IS MOST NOTED FOR HIS CODE OF LAWS, ONE OF THE EARLIEST KNOWN. HIS EMPIRE ENCOMPASSED THE EASTERN PART OF THE FERTILE CRESCENT, CENTERED ON THE TIGRIS AND EUPHRATES RIVERS. A COMPETENT RULER AND BUILDER OF CIVILIZATION, HIS EMPIRE WAS EVENTUALLY DESTROYED BY RAIDS FROM ASIA MINOR. THE BABYLONIANS ARE GENERALLY MORE CONCERNED WITH BUILDING AND GROWING, RATHER THAN CONTINUAL EXPANSION.
