Best Answer

The Akkadian Empire, founded in western Asia, was Semitic. Semitic princes had already established themselves at Kish, and a long inscription has been discovered at Susa by J. de Morgan, belonging to one of them, Manishtushu, who like Lugal-zaggisi was a contemporary of Uru-duggina. Another Semitic ruler of Kis of the same period was Alusarsid (or Urumus) who "subdued Elam and Barahs." But the fame of these early establishers of Semitic supremacy was far eclipsed by that of Sargon of Akkad and his son, Naram-Sin. The date of Sargon is placed by modern scholars around 2300 BC (by Nabonidus at 3800 BC).
