The code of hammurabi records a theory of human rights from 1772 BCE.

The ancients didn't have a theory of human rights..... Now that is the silliest thing you could have said,as we know full well where & when the spark for human rights came in from, that rediscovery of the classics. That always comes back to haunt your "theory", now you're denying the emergent source that inspired Humanism that even high school level history teaches. You just keep deflecting, it just isn't working, reality isn't that hard to accept, try.

You weren't aware that the Egyptians had moral codes, believed in an afterlife, a judgment with God weighing men's hearts in the afterlife? How strange, they had a civilization dating back 7000yrs, how did you miss that? (And gave the world the Ten Commandments as well.) Interesting thing their medics discovered, the human heart gets heavier with age natural to tie in with the thinking a deity would check the weight of the heart to measure sins. There is much that could be considered "ancient" , but by no means was it anymore superstitious than the phantasms that haunted Christianity far down in the 10th-15th centuries (5000yrs later), that is truely a bizzare world indeed, that rediscovery of the classics didn't happen a moment too soon, that gnostic humanism Christianity was born from.
