Document Summary
Pictures representing something such as cave drawings. Using symbolic language while taking notes whether that be typing or writing. Cuneiform- used a slab of mud and stylist to write symbolic language. Big slabs of stone with laws written into them. Set in the middle of the town for everyone to see. Incredibly severe, rough system of law: (cid:862)eye for a(cid:374) eye(cid:863) (cid:272)a(cid:373)e fro(cid:373) this (cid:272)ode. Wealth and class define a lot of the changes in these laws: (cid:862)eye for a(cid:374) eye(cid:863) o(cid:374)ly (cid:449)ithi(cid:374) your o(cid:449)(cid:374) (cid:272)lass. Noble man slave = pay fine. Gender works the same way as class: not equal at all, men are clearly higher. How to trade with a neighboring city-state. It is written in stone: no changing it. The first to write down the word of god. Create a system of religion: god. Not first group to believe this but most influential. Sovereign: he is the only god and has all of the power.
