Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Akkadian empire lasted for about 200 years and fell because its kings could not rule such a large empire. 1. After the Akkadian empire fell, Hammurabi was the next king to unite Mesopotamia. His capital city was Babylon.
Detailed explanation-2: -By then, the Akkadian kingdom of Sargon and Naram-Sin–the world’s first empire–was long lost in the dust, apparently also the first empire to collapse as a result of catastrophic climate change.
Detailed explanation-3: -His name meant “true king, ‘’ and Sargon of Akkad (unknown–2279 B.C.) took advantage of that presumed legitimacy to establish the world’s first empire around 2330 B.C. in Mesopotamia, the fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
