Since you could reasonably add (1750 B.C.) to the headline, you should. What's the oldest year reference record for a successful story? I once tried "Epic of Gilgamesh (2100 B.C.)" but it got no votes.
It's not referenced in the title, but perhaps "The Instructions of Šuruppak" (2600 BC)?
Wikipedia entries generally don't have years added to them, as they are not the original text, but rather text about the text. If you linked to the original text (or a translation will do), then the original year makes sense (unless the translation's date is more important).
2100 BCE is too early. Yes, some Gilgamesh stories date there. The epic proper is a later redaction of several of those stories.
There was no crime associated to spreading art and knowledge. And still, the Assyrians had an advanced society and one of the seven wonders of the world in the Hanging Gardens.
Everybody could make and use medicines, make avail of inventions and reproduce text, lyrics, music and performances.
N. N. Taleb taught me about the Code of Hammurabi, and it’s perhaps one of the most fundamental concepts of his book Skin In the Game.
Thankful for Taleb, never would have know about this king and now I have been so fascinated by his mind lately
Seriously can we be friends?
I have got the Incerto in my bookshelf. ;)
If you think about it, law is kind of like programming.
When a set of conditions are met, apply a rule.
I had this discussion with my law school friends. Laws (programs) are here to solve a problem, and when deciding on a law (programming) you need to account for a lot of edge cases.
More like LLM prompting, given the flexible and often ambiguous nature :P
