Also this bullshit about the Ten Commandments being the “original law” when we all know it was the Code of Hammurabi. Kids today need to know how to handle their slaves and punish classroom thieves by chopping their hands off.

It's also full of fun stuff like the first building codes (if a building collapses, the builder is liable for damages), fair lending practices (debt payments are paused if a natural disaster ruins your crops), the original version of Miranda rights (the accused had the right to have the laws read to them), and much more.
