Why didn’t the laws of Hammurabi expire even 1000 years after the death of Hammurabi himself?

This is due to the fact that Hammurabi warned his heirs that if they destroy his laws, then they will face a terrible punishment from the gods. Hammurabi himself was one of the most prominent legislators of antiquity. He was able to create the first written code of laws, which was called the “Code of Hammurabi”. This legalist contained 282 articles that regulated various aspects of state and public life in ancient Babylon.
