What was the main difference between the sumerians and akkadians?
The main difference between the Sumerians and Akkadians lies in their language and cultural identity. The Sumerians spoke a language isolate, known as Sumerian, and are credited with creating one of the earliest known civilizations in Mesopotamia, characterized by city-states like Ur and Uruk. In contrast, the Akkadians spoke a Semitic language and emerged later, unifying Sumerian city-states under the rule of Sargon of Akkad around 2334 BCE. This led to the establishment of the Akkadian Empire, which combined Sumerian and Akkadian cultures while promoting the Akkadian language.

Why were Sumerian city-states considered theocracies?
Sumerian city-states were considered theocracies because their governments were closely intertwined with religion, where priests and priestesses held significant power and authority. The rulers were often seen as representatives of the gods or even as divine themselves, which legitimized their rule. This fusion of religious and political authority meant that laws, governance, and societal norms were heavily influenced by religious beliefs and practices. Consequently, the city's prosperity and well-being were thought to depend on the favor of the gods, further reinforcing the theocratic structure.
