1 - Caste systems are traditional, hereditary systems of social stratification, such as clans, gentes, or the Indian caste system. The word caste is derived from the Portuguese word casta, meaning "lineage. (India).

2 - The ten commandments were taken by Moses at the Mount Sinaï, in the land of Israel.

3 - The Persian Royal Road was an ancient highway built by the Persian king Darius I in the 5th Century BCE. (Iran)

4 - The word algebra is a Latin variant of the Arabic word al-jabr. This came from the title of a book, Hidab al-jabr wal-muqubala, written in Baghdad about 825 A.D. by the Arab mathematician Mohammed ibn-Musa al-Khowarizmi.

5 -It comes from Old Testament, Exodus 21:23-25 - "But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe."
(It was a way to dispense justice).

The "An eye for an Eye" ?
Is that the excerpt of the Testament which is from Babylionia or Hebrew ?

Old testament is about Hebrews, not Babylonia.
