Well, someone can decide by themselves what they want to do and need to do but sometimes, that kind of person will need some law and the administration of justice in the old testament and ancient east references. People with open minded will always try to seek for the new things and information from many sources. On the contrary, people with closed mind will always think that they can do it by their principals. So, what kind of person are you?

THE RULE OF THE MILITARY KING Out of the struggles to regain her independence and her ascendancy over the warlike nations of Western Asia, Egypt during the Eighteenth Dynasty emerged, for the first time in her history, as a predominantly military state under the rule of a king dedicated from early youth to the leadership of his army and navy and to the expansion and consolidation of his empire by force of arms. Elevated while scarcely more than a boy to the rank of commander-in-chief of the armed forces, the heir apparent to the Egyptian throne under Tuthmosis I and his successors devoted a considerable portion of his early years to training himself in the arts of war. Proficiency as an archer, a charioteer, and a ship-handler, achieved under the supervision of his father's veterans, ranked high among the qualifications demanded of the future king and were the accomplishments in which throughout his life he took his greatest pride. Experience in actual combat followed shortly after the young ruler's accession to the throne, an occasion almost invariably seized upon by the princes of Nubia and Asia to revolt against their Egyptian overlord. Following the conquests of Tuthmosis III one or two campaigns usually sufficed to restore order throughout the empire and eliminated the need for further show of force on the part of the pharaoh. Nevertheless, the military point of view remained with the king throughout his reign and profoundly affected the nature of his government and the internal conditions of the land which he governed.

The Code of Lipit-Ishtar

Early Mesopotamian Royal Titles: A Philological and Historical Analysis

EVER since the discovery of the famous diorite stele containing the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi it has been generally held that this celebrated king was responsible for the earliest attempt to reduce law to a single uniform and consistent whole. On several occasions, it is true, brief collections of laws in the Sumerian language had been published as excerpts from or portions of pre-Hammurabi law codes-indeed, Lipit-Ishtar himself had been suggested as an early codifier of law-but there was no decisive evidence for these assumptions. It had also been suggested that although some of the individual Sumerian laws known to us may have preceded the First Dynasty of Babylon, many were probably only Sumerian translations of Hammurabi laws for pedagogical purposes. In any case, it was generally believed that at least in his codification of the existing law Hammurabi was responsible for a significant cultural innovation. There is no longer any room for speculation on these points. The recent discovery of four fragments of a Sumerian law code and the identification of several other tablets as excerpts from this code prove beyond doubt that the credit for this development in the history of civilization belongs not to Hammurabi but to his predecessor by more than a century, Lipit-Ishtar, king of Isin. The four fragments which form the basis for the present reconstruction of the Lipit-Ishtar law code were recovered in the course of the Nippur excavations of the University of Pennsylvania almost fifty years ago. As a matter of fact, these fragments of the Sumerian code were actually dug up before the discovery of the Hammurabi code stele. In all probability their unprepossessing appearance and fragmentary condition are responsible for the fact that they have escaped attention for so long. In the meanwhile the Babylonian code, later both in point of origin and of discovery, has held the position of "the world's oldest known law code."
