Chapter II - Documents

In the ancient civilization writing was very important. People who did understand had to rely on other people information's. At that period writhing was the weapon. Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the oldest writing. This book is about how the beast change into human. Enkidu men who live in the forest and he did not knew anything about human beings. He was like an animal who eat grass, while other people eat bread and drink beer. Enkidu fall in love with a women and she help Enkidu to be a civilized human being. She took Enkidu to city to challenged Gilgamesh  because he was a bad king. However, they became best friend. Enkidu goes to his journey and he died by disease. Gilgamesh  did not understand why Enkidu die, than he leaned that part of being human is you die one day; can't be mortal.

The Law Code of Hammurabi was very interesting. I feel like there was law for everything. People change the laws when they started changing, but there are still some law have same concept with few changes.  For example, in 1899 B.C.E if the house fall and anyone get killed than the house builder "shall be put to death..." but today in the US if the house fall and anyone gets killed than the house builder will sue. In my opinion I think there is more consequences for women than men, but there are some laws which protect women. For example, in the world there is some societies where women can't speak for themselves and women are always wrong. If there is quarrel between husband and wife, and she want to septate from husband, than society and her families reject and she will have very difficult life. However, in The Law Code of Hammurabi if there is a fight between husband and wife; if the judge find out that wife guiltless and there is no mistakes on her side than she will be free from her husband. She can take her dowry and go back to her father house. We are not a perfect human being and we make mistakes. However, if we cross our limits than we have to face the consequences as well.
