Chapter 2 Documents

Chapter 2's documents have been very interesting. The thing that caught my attention was the documents on the laws. Transfering from chapter 1 to chapter 2 documents is such a change. The laws caught my eye because they were so harsh and different from the previous eras we have read about. The laws are intense and most end in the punishment of death. Looking at how paleolithic peoples were compared to ancient Mesopotamia is interesting and very different. Such as the laws about gender, men are beginning to seem more superior to women and the women are seemed as more at fault and the ones who receive more punishments for specific actions.
