Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Akkadians, led by Sargon the Great, were the first to successfully conquer and unify much of Mesopotamia, creating the Akkadian Empire around 2334 BCE. While the Sumerians were an earlier civilization in Mesopotamia, they did not create a true empire and were instead organized into city-states. The Egyptians were a separate civilization with their own empire, and the Eridu were an early Sumerian city, not a distinct group.
