Sargon of Akkad adopted several key ideas from the Sumerians, including their administrative practices, religious beliefs, and cuneiform writing system. He utilized Sumerian bureaucratic methods to manage his empire effectively, ensuring efficient tax collection and resource distribution. Additionally, Sargon embraced Sumerian deities and rituals, promoting their worship to legitimize his rule. This cultural integration helped facilitate the spread of Akkadian influence throughout Mesopotamia.

The area in which the Sumerians lived was subject to flash flooding because it was located along The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. This provided fertile soil to produce surplus amounts of crops but was in some ways a disadvantage to the people because the floods would sometimes distroy their settlement and livestock.
