The lecturer from the Department of Archeology at the College of Arts at the University of Baghdad, Assistant Professor Dr. Juma Huraiz Al-Talbi, issued a book entitled (The Akkadians, the oldest empire in the world).<\/p>\n
The book highlighted the Akkadian state as the oldest empire in the world, as the French Assyrian scholar Fran\u00e7ois Thoreau-Dangin described the Akkadian state in 1897 as “a large and unified empire that replaced a mixture of competing small kingdoms, nearly a century and a half (142 years), and included all of Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), as well as parts of southern Anatolia (modern Turkey) and Elam (modern southwestern Iran).<\/p>\n
The book also showed that the Akkadian state was ruled by a series of five kings who had a charismatic personality, so the system of government depended mainly on the personality of the ruler, and on his military and political capabilities and talents, and that its influence remained felt in West Asia for another two thousand years, and their language became a common language in the region until the eighth and seventh centuries BC when it was replaced by Aramaic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
