What is the significance of the Stele of Hammurabi?

Answer

A

It is the earliest known written trade transaction.

B

It is a written history of the development of the Persian empire.

C

It is a carved relief which explains Sumerian laws and religious traditions.

D

It is the earliest example of written law.

Explanation

The Stele of Hammurabi is famous for recording Hammurabi’s code, a collection of laws from ancient Babylon. Its significance is that it is one of the earliest known written law codes. Choice D best matches this; the stele does not describe the Persian Empire or Sumerian religious traditions.
