My college theology instructor (many, many years ago!) said that the existence of the written Code of Hammurabi proved that writing existed, and that the Bible was historically accurate.

Are those 2 separate thoughts or did the prof suggest that the existence of written code demonstrate that the Bible is historically accurate?

Sorry, yes, she said the existence of written code demonstrates that the Bible is historically accurate. That is, writing existed, ergo, God’s people had a written language and could write down their history.
