Answer:

During the ancient times, the people of Mesotamia lived under the rule of the Babylonian king, Hammurabi.
Hammurabi created his code of laws,
which consists of 282 laws, in the year 1750 BC. The Code of Hammurabi was inscribed on stone, which suggests that the King accepted the laws from the sun gos, Shamash.
