In 2315 BC, Sargon died after reigning 55 years, and his youngest son, Rimush, succeeded to the throne of Akkad.

When Rimush succeeded to the throne, the Sumerians in the south rebelled, and the Akkadian city-state of Ruder in the north became independent.

Not to mention distant Syria, where the Second Ebra Dynasty became independent again, and the Waiter took control of Marry, who was reinvigorated.

King Remush of Akkadian first sent an army against your and captured more than 5,000 princes and warriors, fought against the rebels of Kazaru in central China and captured his princes and more than 5,000 soldiers, and rebelled against the eastern alliance in the cities of Pingadab, Zabaran, and Der, capturing more than 14,000 princes and warriors. When Del again united with Uruk to rebel, he captured more than 3,000 people including King Del and put hundreds of inhabitants to death.

In 2312 BC, when the eastern city-states of Elamite were a great threat to Akkad, Remush led an army into Elamite under the rule of Hishep Ra** II, destroyed several cities, and fought a fierce battle with the king of the powerful state of Parahesi, capturing 4,000 people, including his vice-king. Hishep Ra** II was forced to swallow his anger. The frequent conquests of the Remush reflect the fact that the overlords of the nations could only rely on force to maintain their hegemony and defend themselves against foreign enemies.

The purpose of these wars and expeditions was clearly to strike at the old aristocracy and to subjugate the conquered peoples. However, these expeditions did not bring about profound socio-economic changes, and the vast majority of prisoners of war were killed, so the number of domestic slaves in the royal temple remained low. But the consequence was a significant reduction in the number of Sumerians. The foundation was laid for the extinction of the Sumerians.

From the inscription created by Remush in the temple of Enlil in Nippur, we know that he offered to the temple the spoils of war plundered from Elam, 15 kilograms of gold and 1.8 tons of copper, but only six males*slaves*.

Manishtushu, reigned 15 years, 2306-2291 BC.

During his short reign of eight years, Remush waged frequent wars and a very small number of slaves, which caused strong resentment among the Akkadian nobility. This led his brother Manishtushu to find an opportunity to quickly unite with the Eastern Semitic nobles. After the union, while Remush was busy with the war with the Elamites, he completed the preparations for a mutiny, and when Remush defeated Elam and returned to the city of Akkad, after the expeditionary army was disbanded, he colluded with the Janissaries led by the nobles to launch a mutiny.

In 2306 BC, Rimush was struck down by nobles with stone seals. Sargon's eldest son, Manishtushu, who was also Remush's elder brother, succeeded in seizing the throne of Akkad.

As a result of the change of throne, the Sumerian states became independent again, and the Elamite king Helu, with the support of the emerging Anshan and Engsi of Shirimin, also declared independence.

However, due to the early blow of the Remush, the vitality of the Sumerian city-states was not restored, so Manishtushu successfully quelled the uprisings of the states. However, in order to alleviate the rebellion of the Sumerians in the country, Manishtushu formulated a number of provisions stating that the city-states had a certain degree of independence and that the king could not take the lands of the city-states as his own. This had some success, and the Sumerians did not revolt during their reign.

After quelling the rebellion in the country, Manishtushu turned his main efforts to Anshan and Shiriban on the Elamite side. He crossed the Tigris River east and conquered 32 cities on the side of Elam, led by Susa, and Heru had to be a vassal and pay a large tribute of gold and bronze for his sins. The statue of Manishtushu was also consecrated by King Awan Heru to the Elamite god Narut as a sign of submission to Akkadian.

To the north, the power of the Akkadian Empire reached Nakar (modern) in the Habur Delta and the city of Ashur in the middle reaches of the Tigris.

The city of Ashur was originally one of the cities founded by the Eastern Semites during the Shamash dynasty, and was later occupied by the Hulian people, the yellow indigenous people of the Indo-European language family, after the fall of the Shamash dynasty. These Julians may have been the heirs of the Samarra culture.

Manishtushu drove out the Hulian and returned Ashur to Eastern Semitic control.

Manishtushu developed seaborne trade with Meluha (in India), Magan (off the coast of Oman) and Dilmun (on the western coast of Bahrain and the Persian Gulf). Every year, a large number of merchant fleets travel to and from the Persian Gulf.

Naram Sheen, reigned 36 BC, 2291-2255 BC. Suffix: Luna Sin.

In 2291 BC, Manishtushu's son, Naram Sin, mutinied, killed Manishtushu and seized the throne of Akkad.

As a result of the mutiny, the Sumerian states rebelled again. At this time, the king of the second dynasty of Elanawan, Sita, was in power and the kingdom was growing stronger, but he learned from his father's experience and did not rush to declare independence.

After quickly quelling the rebellion of the Sumerian city-states, Naram Sim began a large-scale campaign abroad to ease the tension at home.

Naram Simsi conquered Syria, Kemari, burned the city of Ebla, captured the king of Armanu, destroyed Apisal, reached the Mediterranean coast, and his forces reached the Mediterranean coast, where he cut down trees in the "cedar forest" (Mount Amanus) and transported them to the capital to build a temple.

The Western Semites came in large numbers from the west, and Ebra bore the brunt of the attack, becoming an obstacle to their entry into Mesopotamia. But after the destruction of the city of Ekara by Naramsin, the barriers were removed, and the West Semites entered Mesopotamia in large numbers during this period.

An expedition across the sea in the southern Persian Gulf to Magan and capture its king.

North to Armenia and the Kurdistan Mountains. In northern Assyria, Nakar on the upper reaches of the Habur River was built as the king's capital, and tablets of King Akkad were found in the important towns of Nineveh and Ashur.

To the east as the Zagros Mountains, in the northeastern mountains to engage the Lulupes, carved reliefs celebrating the victory in the war on the towering rocks.

At this time, Akkad had reached its heyday. At that time, Naram Sim was unrivaled and heroic, and he called himself "the king of the four corners of the world". He also called himself "Divine Naram Sin, the mighty god of Akkad".

The main reason for the Akkadian Empire's conquest was to control the commercial avenues that transported foreign products and precious materials. In such an ambitious empire, a new artistic concept - extolling the glory and omnipotence of the king - was born, and the art of engraving of this period appeared in addition to the traditional motifs of heroes and animals fighting from the previous period, as well as mythological scenes. The many images collected during the Akkadian period had a profound influence on the art of seal carving in later generations.
