Sargon's first empire, known as the Akkadian Empire, stretched from the Persian Gulf in the south to the Mediterranean Sea in the north, encompassing a significant portion of ancient Mesopotamia. At its height around 2350 BCE, it included regions of modern-day Iraq, Syria, and parts of Turkey and Iran. Sargon's conquests united various city-states, marking one of the world's first empires.
