Summary
Chart the rise of the Akkadian Empire, established by Sargon and strengthened by his grandson, Naram-Sin. Learn how they forged the pattern that future Mesopotamian empires would follow - one based on the central authority of a king - and how their empire eventually collapsed under pressures both within and without.
