I also wasn't. Quite depressing laws they had, I think:

    6. If a man violates the right of another and deflowers the virgin wife of a young man, they shall kill that male.
    7. If the wife of a man followed after another man and he slept with her, they shall slay that woman, but that male shall be set free.
    ... and slaves of course ...

Has it been like that for 4000+ years (at some places) :-(

> pictures of the Ziggurat are really impressive

Yes :-)

Wow, yeah, that’s pretty awful. Glad I’m living in the modern world where that kind of ruling would be considered an abomination.
