The empire of Akkad is founded by Sargon, who organizes the military. He conquers much of the Euphrates River region and establishes trade with areas such as the Indus Valley, Crete, and the Persian Gulf.
The first known published poet, Enkheduanna, daughter of Sargon, writes "Hymn to Inanna." Inanna was the Akkadian goddess of love and war.
The bronze sculpture Head of an Akkadian Ruler, possibly a representation of Sargon, is created in Niniveh. The Victory Stele of Naram-Sin, an iconographic sandstone monument commemorating the victory of Sargon's son over a local mountain tribe, is carved in Mesopotamia.
