There were earlier unions in the Middle East which some have called empires, but it is generally accepted the the best defined was the Akkadian Empire of the later 3rd Millennium BCE under Sargon which united all the Akkadian-speaking Semites and Sumerian-speakers (of unknown ethnic origin) into a multilingual empire. This Empire controlled the Fertile Crescent - Mesopotamia, the Levant and part of today's Iran.
