Document Summary
Primary sources: problems: potential for bias, not always accurate, lack of context. Secondary sources: books, papers, and journal articles which are written by historians after an event, often providing context for primary sources; citing them, commenting on them, or building upon them. Analyzing hammurabi"s law code: he reigned for 43 years in babylon during the old babylonian period, undertook a great deal of wars, but started small at first. The stele: shows the god shamash handing hammurabi the ring and rod that symbolize power.
