Where did the Akkadians migrate from? Explain how Sargon became an emperor and whom he left in charge of each of the conquered cities.

1 answer

The Akkadians migrated from the Zagros Mountains in modern-day Iran. Sargon became an emperor by conquering the city-states of Sumer and unifying them under his rule. He then went on to conquer the cities of Elam, Assyria, and Mari, among others. He left governors in charge of each of the conquered cities, who were responsible for collecting taxes and maintaining order. He also appointed a high priest in each city to ensure that the gods were properly worshipped.
