Personal profile
King Sargon the Great, a commoner, was the Akkadian king of ancient West Asia, also known as the King of sargon. He was born in Shu Ren and is said to be an abandoned baby and illegitimate child. As a teenager, he worked as a gardener with his adoptive father. Later, he went to Kish Kingdom and became a servant beside the king. About 237 BC1year, Marvin invaded Kish, and King Ursa Baba failed to resist. He seized power and established Akkad Kingdom with Akkad as its capital.
After taking power, Emperor Saar devoted himself to consolidating domestic rule and expanding abroad. To this end, he established the first standing army in the world military history. This army of about 5,400 people has undergone strict selection and training. Everyone is good at fighting and archery. They usually serve as the guards of the palace and serve as the backbone and backbone of the kingdom's combat troops in wartime. During the reign of sargon, he used his elite troops to carry out many wars of expansion and aggression. In the East, he conquered some city-states in Elam and once occupied the city of Susa. In the south, he defeated the combined forces of 50 princes headed by King Marvin Lugarezajixi, captured King Marvin, captured uruk, and then conquered the whole Sumer region. In the north, Ebra, the ancient country of Mali and Syria, which conquered the middle reaches of the Euphrates River, opened up trade routes to the Mediterranean coast, unifying the central and southern regions of the two river basins. After that, it marched westward, went deep into southern and central Asia Minor, and constantly expanded its sphere of influence.
After 55 years in power, Emperor Saar established the first unified country in the two river basins in West Asia through civil war. While he was carrying out military conquest, he also attached great importance to domestic construction. He vigorously developed economy, culture and agricultural irrigation technology, which brought new progress to the relatively developed two river basins at that time. Because of its outstanding military achievements, outstanding political achievements and prosperous national unity, it calls itself "Charouk King" and "King IV". The Akkadian Kingdom he founded only existed for 100 years, but it occupied a very important position in the history of ancient West Asia. Its military organization pioneered the construction of a national standing army and had a far-reaching impact on later generations.
