Which empire existed before the Babylonian Empire in Mesopotamia?
I don not know the answer (CDFA)
Who created the first empire in history?
As far as we know, the world's first empire was formed about 2250 B.C., by Sargon the Great, in Mesopotamia. His empire included the Sumerian cities of the Tigris-Euphrates Delta. After taking control of these, Sargon went into Syria to the Taurus Mountains near Cyprus. Sargon is, less plausibly, said to have gone into Egypt, India, and Ethiopia. The capital of Sargon's empire was at Agade (Akkad), a city whose precise location is not known for certain, but which gave its name to the empire, Akkadian.
Who conquered the first empire on earth?
It depends on how the question is read. If the question is asking who was the man who created first empire through conquest, it would Sargon of Akkad, who created the Akkadian Empire - the world's first empire. If the question is asking who was the man who conquered the world's first empire (for some other empire), the question is unanswerable. The Akkadian Empire was never conquered. It fell apart for various reasons before any state existed that would be powerful enough to challenge it.
Who was the most famous king of Babylon?
Sargon of Akkad, also known as Sargon the Great"the Great King" (Akkadian Šarru-kīnu, meaning "the true king" or "the king is legitimate"), was a Semitic Akkadian emperor famous for his conquest of the Sumerian city-states in the 23rd and 22nd centuries BC. The founder of the Dynasty of Akkad, Sargon reigned during the last quarter of the third millennium BC. He became a prominent member of the royal court of Kish, killing the king and usurping his throne before embarking on the quest to conquer Mesopotamia. He was originally referred to as Sargon I until records concerning anAssyrian king also named Sargon (now usually referred to as Sargon I) were unearthed.Sargon's vast empire is thought to have included large parts of Mesopotamia, and included parts of modern-day Iran, Asia Minor and Syria. He ruled from a new, but as yet archaeologically unidentified capital, Akkad (Agade), which the Sumerian king list claims he built (or possibly renovated). He is sometimes regarded as the first person in recorded history to create a multiethnic, centrally ruled empire, although the Sumerians Lugal-anne-mundu and Lugal-zage-si also have a claim. His dynasty controlled Mesopotamia for around a century and a half.
