Changes

The '''Akkadian Empire''' 2360-2180 B.C. was situated in [[Sumeria]] in the [[fertile crescent]] in the lower [[Mesopotamia]] and north of the Sumer River. King [[Sargon the Great]] created the empire by overrunning the Kish.  An area that had few natural defenses, it lacked the long lasting nature of, say, the kingdom of [[Egypt]] during that same time period.
