This Ancient Law Still Terrifies Historians This ancient law was designed to
terrify people… not protect them. In Babylon, around 1750 BC, laws were carved
into stone for everyone to see. One rule followed a terrifying pattern. If a builder made
a house… and it collapsed, killing the owner… The law demanded something shocking.
The builder didn’t pay a fine. He lost his life. The message was clear:
Your work equals your fate. No appeals. No mercy. Ancient law ruled
through fear. Modern law rules through rights. But fear built empires… and fear destroyed
them too.
