Sargon the great
Sargon's Akkadian Empire was special because he was considered the first king and that was considered the first kingdom. He also had thriving cities and impressive military rule for being the first to set up an empire.

Akkadian Empire under Sargon united Mesopotamia under his singular rule. His Empire was preceded by the Sumerian civilization of city-states that had existed prior to, during, and after his rule from the early 3rd millennium BCE

The Akkadian Empire, which existed around 2334-2154 BCE, had a centralized government under the rule of a king. The king held absolute power, acting as a monarch and a military leader. Local governors were appointed to administer different regions of the empire, ensuring the king's rule was maintained.
They created the first known empire in history, known as the Akkadian Empire.
Assyrians descended from the Sumerians and Akkadians. When the Assyrian Empire began, they were technically the Sumerians and Akkadians, but there was no "Sumerian Empire" or "Akkadian Empire" at that time. There was earlier, but not then.
The Akkadian Empire ended when kings found it hard to rule over such a large territory, and soon the Akkadian Empire fell to new invaders (the Sumerians believed it fell because of a curse...) from the north, which began the Babylonian Empire. This is one theory. No one knows exactly how it fell. Submitted by a sixth grader
