We all know the great conquerors of history – these mighty leaders proved their strategic genius time and again through their spectacular battlefield exploits. But one name we often forget predates them all, and hails from the desert, in the cradle of civilization. This Mesopotamian leader established a sprawling empire in his lifetime, bringing city-states to their knees, and spreading terror through the hearts of his enemies.
This is Ancient Origins, and today we’ll be recounting the incredible story of King Sargon the Great, founder of the Akkadian Empire. S

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching!
FYI : The presentation is about Sargon I of Akkad, but almost all the pictures are of Sargon II from Assyria !!There are no connection except to the name between both kings.
Sargon I : 1860–1821 BC
Sargon II: 722 – 705 BC
A difference of 1000 years!
Thank you for the good feedback!
Menel Tekel Fares? was the words inscribed in the wall before a King? Which king was he?
Great video. I just wanted to say that Sumerian language didn’t go extinct.. it’s just thaat it was becoming more and more exclusive to religious and administrative documents. But I think you already know that I just feared that the word “extincet” may give a false impression to the viewers.
Long live Sargon the great ??????
Wrong Sargon.
Dajjal’s one eye in the thumbnail….was he the one which our prophet Mohammad(PBUH) told about??
Tell me more about that. I’m curious
Having a fat atheist YouTuber be part of your history isn’t anything to be proud of.
Ein super information über König Sargon
He got fat, and started making ytube vids……
WOW! Global warming got the first civilization too! Who would have thought it was a problem back then as well?
The fall of the empire was not caused by Naram-Sin’s hubris, but by sacrelige against temple of Enlil. In text called Curse of Akkad Naram-Sin destroyed Enlils temple which enraged the god and he sent down Gutians to destroy Akkad.

Since you’re making assumptions let’s assume this, women did such things to rid themselves of a child they could not take care of or protect. Not just one or two women but thousands over the centuries may have done that. The repetition of the theme seems to indicate that it did happen, and happen often. Hmmm.
