Sargon of Akkad Builds the First Empire

Sargon of Akkad Builds the First Empire

Sargon of Akkad conquered all of Mesopotamia around 2334 BCE — built the world's first empire from literally nothing

Creation & Ancient WorldOld Testamentc. 2334 BCE

His origin story is wild — abandoned as a baby in a basket on a river (sound familiar?), rose to become cupbearer to a king, then overthrew him and conquered EVERYTHING. United Sumer and Akkad into the first true empire in history. Ruled for 56 years and his legend was so powerful that kings were still trying to copy him centuries later.
