1858 AD
Hammurabi
History always has twists and turns, and the story of Hammurabi is no
exception. It may be hard to believe (after your having read my secret
blog) that
they elected Hammurabi the Cruel, King of Squalor, the Unmerciful,
Crusher of Cities, to be the Secretary
General of the United Nations. They even gave the guy a Nobel Peace Prize!
You
see the superpowers, Zululand and Japan,
were so at odds, that it was thought that only someone of Hammurabi's
"stature, independence and diplomatic contacts"
could be trusted (that, and a few well-placed bribes). Apparently, Hammurabi the Despotic Warmonger of
Babylon was credited with
brokering a peace treaty between the two superpowers. The same guy
who started the most bloody war in history. The same guy who whipped his own citizens until they
bled. Yeah, that guy.
 
How do I know all these secrets about
Hammurabi, Terrible King of the Tigris and the Euphrates, and of the
Lands Between? His ulterior motives? His nefarious methods? Why do I so obviously despise him?
You see, I am his son. I am
Hammurabi, Jr.
