The Code of Hammurabi was discovered in the Middle East where the country of Iran is
today. The discovery was made in 1901. It had been transported there from its original
place in the center of the city of Babylon. The Elamites stole the code and took it back
to their homeland in the 12th Century B.C. Archeologists would find the code and other
relics that were significant to the Babylonian Empire both at this site and at the present
day site of Babylon.
