The world's first empire was ruled by King Sargon and the Akkadians. They took over the land of Sumer.

# data[].attributes.body
Sargon wanted his empire to last many generations but, new rulers found it hard to rule over such a large piece of land. Slowly the Akkadian empire dwindled down to be a very weak empire. Much smaller then when Sargon was in rule. This shows that people need a certain type of person to make their people stronger.

Sargon ruled for over 50 years.  He and his team helped him create their first city.  It was called Agade.

Women typically don't have any power.  But Sargon, gave his daughter some power, and placed her as the highest priestess of the moon god.

The new city that Sargon and his team created, Agade, over time created their new language.  This language replaced the old city's language.  This city also had their own cultural beliefs, next, this city became really well known because of their art.  They started to create three dimensional art and had a few famous artists create there.

The people and creators of Agade, hoped the empire would last for a long time (thousands of years). Unfortunately for the people of the empire, future rulers believed, that this empire was too hard to run and too big of a territory, and this had caused the territory to grow weak and eventually crumble...

The Babylonians king was fair and he gave a lot of rights to people who are lower like women’s slaves and people who have been to jail I think. He was also fair and the Babylonians also thrived and the king was fair and even to people who are not as high as him he still gave some rights for them. I pretty sure he was a nice king :)
