Detailed explanation-1: -Meet the world’s first emperor King Sargon of Akkad-who legend says was destined to rule-established the world’s first empire more than 4, 000 years ago in Mesopotamia.
Detailed explanation-2: -The title “King of the World” refers to Manu (whose name appears in the ancient Greek king’s name Minos) and is to be distinguished from the “Prince of this world” which refers to Satan in the Gospels (the two words being different in Hebrew and Arabic).
Detailed explanation-3: -Sargon, byname Sargon of Akkad, (flourished 23rd century bce), ancient Mesopotamian ruler (reigned c. 2334–2279 bce) who was one of the earliest of the world’s great empire builders, conquering all of southern Mesopotamia as well as parts of Syria, Anatolia, and Elam (western Iran).
Detailed explanation-4: -The Sumerian king list records Sargon’s birth as well, describing him in different versions as the son of a gardener or as the cupbearer of Ur-Zababa, the king of Kish. Sargon likely overthrew and probably assassinated Ur-Zababa to take the throne of Kish and, from there, expanded his rule.
