Detailed explanation-1: -Under Naram-Sin the empire reached its maximum strength. He was the first Mesopotamian king known to have claimed divinity for himself, taking the title “God of Akkad", and the first to claim the title “King of the Four Quarters, King of the Universe". He became the patron city god of Akkade as Enlil was in Nippur.
Detailed explanation-2: -Naram-Sin was Sargon’s grandson. The god-like Akkadian kings ruled with absolute authority. Naram-Sin’s title was “King of the Four Quarters” meaning “Ruler of the World.” Damaged on both the top and bottom, Naram-Sin’s stele depicts the king’s defeat of the Lullubi peoples of present-day Iran.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Akkadian Empire reached its political peak between the 24th and 22nd centuries BC, following the conquests by its founder Sargon of Akkad. Under Sargon and his successors, the Akkadian language was briefly imposed on neighboring conquered states such as Elam and Gutium.
