Beginning Of Advanced Society : Sargon Of Akkad

Mesopotamia was the foundation of western civilization. This was around 3500 BC when cities started evolving in world history. It was also known as the “land between the rivers.” The first city-states developed in southern Mesopotamia by the Sumerian citizens around 4000 BC. The history begins at Sumer; this society brings many things to the table for a starting civilization. In 3500 BC the Sumerian people learned their own writing system. They would write on cuneiforms, clay blocks which were easy to be transported but they were very fragile. The Sumerian people had an independent government which was ruled by a king, Sargon. The cities as well as

The Mesopotamian era was known as the cradle of civilization. The Mesopotamians were the first to trade, rule, and educate they were known as the first bipedal civilization that rose to power and invented many wonderful items. Most people of the Mesopotamian era were either common folk or rich or traders. The Mesopotamians where located in the land between rivers of Tigris and Euphrates and the name of Mesopotamia was called so because it means the land between two rivers.

Ancient Mesopotamia, sometimes referred to as the “Cradle of Civilization”, was located in the Fertile Crescent between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, bringing the Greek origin of its name, of “land between rivers”. There were two very different regions in ancient Mesopotamia:

They were powerful. They were huge. They were brave. They loved their leader Sargon. These men were the Akkadians and they had two big accomplishments. And because of him, they were destined for greatness. The first great accomplishment was when the Akkadians conquered Sumer. The other was how well they could keep control of Sumer.

When people hear of a King, they immediately envision someone who ought to be powerful, whom they can admire. They visualize someone who is knowledgeable and wise. People tend to assume that for a King to be successful, he needs to gain the respect of his kingdom and not be questioned whatsoever. No one ever imagines someone who can come and alter the King’s perspective for good. No one believes someone, a woman, can overpower a King by only using words. In The Thousand and One Nights, Shahrazad is shown to be more educated and wise, because of her knowledge she is able to change the King’s perception towards women.

The first civilizations and the rise of empires began with small groups or villages existing with the use of hunting, fishing, and foraging. (William J. Duiker and Jackson J. Spielvogel, World History, vol. 1, 1) Within a few thousand years, people learned how to cultivate food crops and this led to an increase in population. Increased food production resulted in larger communities. The cities began to expand their cultural and religious developments leading to the beginnings of civilization. (Duiker, World History, 1) The first civilizations emerged in Mesopotamia and Egypt during the fourth and third millennia B.C.E and had various components in common. Each of these civilizations was established in a river valley so they were able to provide and produce the agricultural resources needed to survive and uphold the population. (Duiker, World History, 1) Mesopotamia developed in the valley between the Tigris and Euphrates River known as “the land between the rivers.” These rivers provided irregular and catastrophic flooding for the city-state. They created an intensive irrigation system to improve their agriculture. The first people to create Mesopotamian civilization were known as the Sumerians. These people were the first city builders and created the major city’s named Eridu, Ur, Uruk, Umma, and Lagash. These cities were built with surrounding walls and defense towers. A six-mile-long wall enclosed the city of Uruk. Mesopotamia lacked

Eragon was on his dragon and Saphira blow fire at them and then all of their armies started to fight. Galbatorix copied Saphira and was riding on a dragon and Eragon jumped off Saphira and stabbed Galbatorix in his heart and killed him.

As passerby's saw his belt, they led him to the king, thinking he was a powerful lord. Once summoned to the king, he made a bargain.

Sustained amidst the Sumerians as numerous generation, the Akkadians seized forces of Mesopotamia in 2350 B.C. Insufficient confirmation stands accessible to depict the Akkadian society, yet it is accepted to be obliged to like the Sumerian intellectual achievement however contrasted in dialect and nationality. Sumerians recovered supremacy of the locale after around two hundred years of control by the Akkadians and others. Under the reestablished Sumerian standard, Mesopotamia was again commanded by flourishing horticulturally based urban

trying to get the favor of the King so that he could get an even higher position.

Long, long ago once was a army called the akkadians under rule of sargon was well under control and conquered all of mesopotamia.

It was law for the Tuatha de danann that they had to be in perfect physical shape to be king. Bres was the most beautiful of all the young men. Bres brought no good luck to his people during his reign. The Fomor, a people that lived beyond the sea, began praising the Tuatha de Danann and the way they would rule them. The Fomor were ruled by a giant and his mother. They taxedthe people and so did Bres, but Bres made no move to stop them. Bres also made no efforts to please his people. In the meantime Dagde killed a blind man with gold hidden in food. While all this was going on Nuada was seing the healer Diancecht who made him a new hand and arm out of silver and Nuada was known as Nuada Argat-lamh. The king of the Fomor Elathan, gave a ring to a young wmoan and told her to give it only to the man it fit. It turned out the the young man was Bres. Bres then found out that he was Elathan's son. Nuada was back in kingship by now. Bres ran to the Hebridges, and raised an army of Fomor so large its ships filled the sea from Hebrdges to Ireland. The Tuatha de Danann won the battle and Formorians hold in Ireland was broken forever. However Nuada died fighting the Formorians. And Lugh became king. Lugh was the son of a Tuatha de Dann and a Fomor and was a master of all arts. After Lugh, Dagda was king and after him it was he's three gransons. It was while under the rule of the three gransons that the Tuatha

He was a generous king early in his reign. He was admired and respected by the people.

He'd been enjoying breakfast at an inn within the capital, when the imperial guard marched up to his table and informed him that his presence was requested in the palace. Assuming that it was due to his unusual attire Sargon was instead surprised to find the offer of a job waiting for him. Presented before the entire royal court it was revealed the previous Sorcerer of the Court had been found dead and that it was imperative that the position be filled. Sargon understood the panic the royals were likely feeling. With magic itself being a rare gift in the world, to have one working for you meant an added layer of protection for any kingdom. Even if Sargon were to take the position temporarily, it was better than nothing and Sargon managed to prove his worth quickly in the weeks following, filling in defensive gaps the previous sorcerer had missed and it wasn't long until the Emperor declared that Sargon would be staying.

I believe that the Akkadian Empire boasts the greatest achievement because they created the first empire, and their empire would be used as the framework for the following Mesopotamian Empires. They had everything the other empires had, but in a more rudimentary form. For instance, the Babylonians may have created the first code of laws, but the Akkadians also had laws, they just didn't write them down. Furthermore, the Assyrian Empire invented new weapons and ways to fight. Nevertheless, the Akkadians also had weapons and combat techniques, which helped them unify all of Mesopotamia into an empire. Likewise, The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were classified as one of the ancient wonders of the world,
