Shocking Facts of Mesopotamian civilization-The First Great Mesopotamian Empire

In the 25th century BC, the Sumerian lord of Lagash, Eannatum, started a tactical mission fully intent on adding every one of the Sumerian urban communities and bringing them subject to his authority. He prevailed in his endeavor and, surprisingly, brought different urban communities past the Sumerian line under his influence.

Sargon the Great of Akkad in northern Mesopotamia caught Sumer from Eannatum around 2270 BC and proceeded to frame the Akkadian Empire. The Akkadian Empire is the earliest certain domain in this geological region, covering southern Mesopotamia and portions of what are all now Syria, Anatolia, and Western Iran. There were a few uprisings during his rule, and thus, he framed the world’s most memorable expert standing armed force. Sargon of Akkad was glorified as a model for Mesopotamian rulers for two centuries after his demise.
