High confidence(1) [I, Sennacherib, king of Assyria], gave this kappu-vessel to Aššur-ilī-muballissu, my son. Who[ever should take it away from him, from his sons, (or from) his grandsons, may (the god) Aššur, king of the gods], take away [his life, as well as (those of) his sons, (and) may he (lit. “they”) make] their name(s) (and) [their seed], as well as (those of) his advisors, [disappear from the land].

The earliest historical document in human history. Before this, we have lists, accounts, and dedications. Here, for the first time, a ruler tells us what happened — with names, places, and consequences.
The oldest surviving law code in human history. The principle that the state — not the wronged family — defines and enforces justice begins here.
Not the first law code, but the most complete and the most famous. Inscribed on a black diorite stele over two meters tall, displayed in a public place — law made visible, law made monumental.
