RE: Skycae's Ancient History Blog - The Ancient Mayans and Babylonians - Kingship
Hammurabi was a badass! it's important looking those info in the aspect of that particular time. For example the eye for an eye may seem harsh and cruel and unfair ( why the other son must die if the father was guilty) but it was the first attempt for a multi law system that formed what we know now as law!
Moreover everytime a great leader and conqueror dies the greed erupts and everyone try to take something for themselves! Also the links you may wanted to use at start don't work
It is interesting. Back then it was a new paradigm. I only wish there were more first hand sources from common folk, but because only the wealthy were usually literate and could afford it they could contribute to written history. Its a reason I love art for history too. I just want to know what the people thought of Hammurabi's rule. Luckily we do know that the law was written in laymens terms on the tablet and displayed publically, so everyone could see!
It seems like a reoccuring piece in history, but especially in that part of the world, it involved a lot of warfare. Hmmm, gets me thinking....
next time we look at the next prominent Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzer II
both Hammurabi and Nebuchadnezzer II i knew them from school or in general i have heard the names and titles but i had no clue what exactly they did and how so your post was really useful
thank you! did you find it engaging enough? not too boring or long winded?
I am trying to make history interesting haha, need some feedback cuz I have read this article too many times to know!
i don't know if i am the best judge but i try to be as objective as i can. i read it quite easily and without getting bored, it may be the fact that i like history and especially ancient civilizations too. On the other hand as my educational posts it's a little bit long so i expect most of those that upvote those posts to not have read them.
haha yeah even I do that sometimes. I try to break it up but there is so much damn information it is literally going to take me years to get all my research out there haha. And I never am finished researching either.
But thank you for your feedback, I really appriciate it!
I am thinking of making a constructive critisism post so that people can tell me how to improve lol.
do it, i hope people actually reply and don't just upvote :P i have made a post like that since my start i think i only took 2 answers :P
sometimes people just dont have anything to say too I guess, I hope you post more like it and let me know! I love history, I want a history community on here haha. I wont be running out ever, I did a lot of the research for highschool, so Ima keep posting more!
you can create a history team here that is all about history, there is the steemiteducation team but i don't think there is a specific team about history
