The Tablets of Destiny are several thousand years older than Christianity, so is it possible that the Ten Commandments are based on teachings from earlier Mesapotamia writings?

I always thought the bible was a book of interpretation not a book of law?

Actually a lot of the 10 commandments come from the Egyptian Book of the Dead

at a gland, I would say no.
The Tablet of Destinies is more like a land dead for the universe. It gives it's bearer Law and Command over all creation.
The Ten Commandments are more like Divine Law passed down to mortals.
Best wishes.

It is possible that the Ten commandments can be disputed by anyone not wishing to believe them and what they are and when they were given. They are the indisputable laws of God himself. Others have and will always try to put doubt about their authenticity. To a true Christian, it is a mute point. :-)

Various peoples codified laws that came from the Creator; Some are historical some are mythological. They varied as they were handed down generation to generation.
When God gave them to Moses, He carved them on tablets of stone so that there would be no doubt as to what He said. He put it in writing.
---------------------
In Mesopotamian MYTHOLOGY, the Tablet of Destinies (not, as frequently misquoted in general works, the 'Tablets of Destiny') was envisaged as a clay tablet inscribed with cuneiform writing, also impressed with cylinder seals, which, as a permanent legal document, conferred upon the god Enlil his supreme authority as ruler of the universe.
The Code of Hammurabi (also known as the Codex Hammurabi and Hammurabi's Code), created ca. 1780 BC (short chronology), is one of the earliest extant sets of laws and one of the best preserved examples of this type of document from ancient Mesopotamia. Still earlier collections of laws include the codex of Ur-Nammu, king of Ur (ca. 2050 BC), the Codex of Eshnunna (ca. 1930 BC) and the codex of Lipit-Ishtar of Isin (ca. 1870 BC).
