In the last episode we covered the Early Dynastic Period, from about 2900-2350 B.C. We left off with discussing the differences between northern and southern Babylonia and how the city of Kish functioned as an intermediate point between these two worlds. We begin this episode with the world's first empire: the Akkadian Empire – created by Sargon the Great.
