The earliest records in Akkadian date to the time of Sargon of Akkad (23rd century BC). While Sargon is traditionally cited as the first ruler of a combined empire of Akkad and Sumer, more recent work suggests that a Sumerian expansion began under a previous king, Lugal-Zage-Si of Uruk. However, Sargon took this process further, conquering many of the surrounding regions to create an empire that reached as far as the Mediterranean Sea and Anatolia, and extending his rule to Elam, and as far south as Magan (Oman).
Stele of Naram-Sin, king of Akkad, celebrating his victory against the Lullubi from Zagros.In the later Babylonian texts the name Akkad, together with Sumer, appears as part of the royal title, as in the Sumerian LUGAL KI.EN.GIRKI URUKI or Akkadian Šar māt Šumeri u Akkadi[1], translating to "king of Sumer and Akkad". This title was assumed by the king who seized control of Nippur[2], the intellectual and religious center of southern Mesopotamia.
During the Akkadian period, the Akkadian language achieved equal literary prestige with the Sumerian language, that it was to eventually replace. The spread of Akkadian stretched from Syria to Elam, and henceforth the Elamite language was written in Mesopotamian cuneiform. Use of Akkadian later stretched from Egypt (in the Amarna period) to Persia (Behistun).
The name Agade is probably from the Sumerian language, appearing e.g. in the Sumerian king list, the later Assyro-Babylonian Semitic form Akkadû ("of or belonging to Akkad") probably being derived from Agade. It is possible that the name, in spite of its unetymological spelling of A.GA.DÈ, is from AGA.DÈ, meaning "Crown of Fire"[3] in allusion to Ishtar, "the brilliant goddess", whose cult was observed in very early times in Agade. This is suggested by the writings of Nabonidus, whose record[4] mentions that Ishtar worship of Agade was later superseded by that of the goddess Anunit, whose shrine was at Sippar. It is significant in this connection that there were two cities named Sippar, one under the protection of Shamash, the sun-god, and one under Anunit, suggesting proximity of Sippar and Agade. One theory held (as of 1911) was that Agade was situated opposite Sippar on the left bank of the Euphrates, and was probably the oldest part of the city of Sippar. Another theory is that the ruins of Akkad are to be found beneath modern Baghdad. Despite numerous searches, the city has never been found. Reputedly the city was destroyed by invading Gutians with the fall of the Akkadian Empire.
