What was Sargon famous for?

Answer 1

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 semetic 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. Cuneiform sources agree that he was cup-bearer (official in charge of wine) of king ur sababa of kish, and some later historians have speculated that he killed the king and usurped his throne before embarking on the quest to conquer Mesopotamia. He was originally referred to as Sargon I until records concerning an assyrian 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-dayiran, Asia minor, and syria. He ruled from a new, but as yet archaeologically unidentified capital, akkad, 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-mundi and lugal-sage-si also have a claim. His dynasty controlled Mesopotamia for around a century and a half.
