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...  ]]> 2020-11-12 22:16:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jendowty/lybj1dgxtbaf4cde/wish/918681102 Babylonian Empire by: Iggi 121472 https://padlet.com/jendowty/lybj1dgxtbaf4cde/wish/918681339 2020-11-12 22:16:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jendowty/lybj1dgxtbaf4cde/wish/918681339 Jasmine 1403516 https://padlet.com/jendowty/lybj1dgxtbaf4cde/wish/918683823 The Nebuchadnezzar decorated his palace of the rooftops.
