The Akkadian Empire, c. 2334 - 2218 BCE
A map illustrating the rise of the Akkadian Empire from its origins in the city-state of Akkad. For the first time in history, Sargon the Great and his descendants managed to unite the whole of Mesopotamia, keeping the rival city-states under their control until around 2200 BCE, when the empire disintegrated under the combined pressures of invasion, rebellion, and climate change.
