... that the Code of Lipit-Ishtar is the second oldest extant Mesopotamian law collection? Source: Wilcke (2015)
"Early in his reign, Lipit-Eshtar issued the second earliest Mesopotamian comprehensive law collection (after the Laws of Ur-Namma) and restored social peace and a functioning legal system."
- ALT1: ... that the Code of Lipit-Ishtar is older than the famous Code of Hammurabi? Source: "In 1947 an older code than Hammurabi's came to light. Promulgated by Lipit-Ishtar, a king who preceded Hammurabi by more than 150 years, it is written not in stone but on a clay tablet, in the cuneiform script of the non-Semitic Sumerian language."

Created by WatkynBassett (talk). Self-nominated at 13:38, 21 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Code of Lipit-Ishtar; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

New enough, long enough, no evident outstanding issues. Hooks are all fine and cited: ALT0 has a typo (should be extant), but I think ALT1 is probably the most likely to get attention from most readers. QPQ still needs to be done, then should be good to go. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 20:59, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @UndercoverClassicist: Many thanks for your quick and kind review. I now finished my QPQ (sorry for the delay). WatkynBassett (talk) 06:51, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Approved ALT1 - nice work. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 08:45, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
