1761 BCE to 1750 BCE

Hamurrabi, the sixth king of Babylonia’s Amorite (or Old) Dynasty, dies around 1750, after a forty-two-year reign that had inaugurated the so-called “first golden age of Semitic culture.”

Owing to his reputation in modern times as an ancient lawgiver, Hammurabi's portrait is featured in many government buildings throughout the world.
