You seem to think there is just one ORIGINAL Code of Hammurabi dated from Sumerian times.

The real example of the Code of Hammurabi is in The Louvre in Paris

That's pathetic. Newsday seems to think there is just one ("the real") example of the Code of Hammurabi. Clueless.

The Code in the Louvre is a black monolith stele (I can send you the photo I took last month, if you like). The examples in the Iraq museum were apparently tablets.

It was also unknown whether one of its greatest treasures of the looted National Museum, tablets containing Hammurabi's Code, one of the earliest codes of law were there when the looting began.
