Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
At Mount Sinai, on the Sinai Peninsula, which is a southern branch of the Arabian Peninsula!.

During the 16th century, BC!.

The 10 Commandments are a set of general rules, based upon primary principles of justice, which in turn became the basis for much more extensive and specific law codes!.

On the other hand, Hammurabi's Code is a complete set of laws!.

Hammurabi's code was lost in historic obscurity for millennia, until rediscovered by archaeologists, while the 10 Commandments have been continually published and promoted by believers!.

An example of the original ancient publication of Hammurabi's Code was found by archaeologists, because it was engraved in stone (Babylonian technology), while the oldest known copies of the 10 Commandments were written on papyrus, (Egyptian technology), and are more than 1,000 years younger!.

The original stone engraving of the 10 Commandments was known to be destroyed shortly afterward, and the second engraving disappeared along with the Ark of the Covenant, the first time Jerusalem was destroyed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hammurabi's code was was a complete code of laws, with punishments included - see link!.

The 10 commandments are a central "big ideas" list for all the laws that god gave Israel at Sinai, for when the took over Canaan (Palestine today)

I think this happened approx 1500 years before Christ!.

Have a look at a Bible, in the book of Exodus, Ch20 is one place where the commandments are!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

The 10 commandments came from Moses who said he got them from God!. They became the basis of Jewish law!.

Hammurabi was a king in Babylon!. He made laws to rule his kingdom!. His laws were very harsh!. One that I remember was "An eye for an eye!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

Have you ever read the bible!? It tells all about the ten commandments - where they came from and how they were delivered!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
