THE ASSYRIAN SUCCESSION OF AKKAD
As we shall see later, Sargon, who founded the Akkadian Empire, absorbed the Neo-Sumerian culture and adopted the
Sumerian pantheon. The Akkadians spoke a Semitic language which linguists allocate to the eastern branch of Semitic.
Under Sargon the language spread, later dividing into Babylonian and Assyrian.xxxii
Not only was the speech and writing system of Akkad so widely spread, but so was the Sumero-Akkadian system
of commerce, political government, legal custom and jurisprudence. Although political and military control
changed hands from city to city and monarch to monarch through the centuries, the basic elements of these
systems remained intact.xxxiii
Yes, the basic principle of Banking, Big Corporations, overly Centralised Governments, Authoritarianism and aloofstyle
monarchies, may be traced back to Sargon. Here was the post flood beginnings of predatory, imperialistic and
militaristic fascism!
Historian Oppenheim concurs:
Not only did the Sumerian dynasty of Ur (called Ur III) follow Sargon's example, but the Assyrian kings of the
next Millennium took him as their prototype and the image on which to model their political aspirations.xxxiv
His descendants, the Akkadians, called themselves and their language after the capital of the empire, Akkad.xxxv Their
royal names and tradition of empire evidently lived on in Assyria.xxxvi Unfortunately, archaeologists have been
unsuccessful to date in their attempts to locate Akkad or Agade but it is evidently close to Babylon.xxxvii Ah! for that
discovery to be made —for then much more would be revealed about Sargon and the Akkadians.
Let us now see what historians have to say concerning the very close relationship between the Akkadians and
Assyrians:
the question arises whether the Akkadians did not have a more solid base of operations in Assyria than they had
in Babylonia. In fact, in many respects the impression the Akkadians left in Assyria was deep and permanent.
In so far as the language is concerned, Old Assyrian is the only Akkadian dialect which has preserved certain
features typical of the Old Akkadian language. . .certain personal names are common to Old Akkadian and Old
Assyrian ... The use by the Assyrians of typically Old Akkadian names is of particular significance ... the use of
Old Akkadian names in the Old Assyrian period can be taken to indicate that many of the prominent Old
Assyrian families proudly traced their ancestors back to Old Akkadians.
The most significant impact, however, which the Akkadians left in Assyria was ideological. Whereas in
Babylonia the memory of the Sargonic kings was despised and their actions condemned as offensive to their
national god, the Assyrians throughout their history cherished their memory and tried to emulate them.
Whereas in Babylonia they were remembered as foreign conquerors, the later Assyrians thought of them as their
very own. Foremost among the ideas which, in the eyes of later generations, were embodied by the kings of
Akkad was the creation of a universal empire, comprising what later princes used to call kissat matati, 'the
totality of the countries'. Rarely was a Babylonian king interested in 'widening the bounds of his country'; with
the exception of some Kassites, who were influenced by Assyrian ideas, they did not use titles such as sar kissati,
'king of the universe', sar kibrat erbettim, 'king of the four regions (of the world)', etc. The Assyrians, on the
contrary, were expansion-minded throughout their history. As will be pointed out in greater detail below, the
time of the empire builders Sargon and Naram-Sin was for the Assyrians a golden age, for the eventual return of
which they hoped at periodic intervals; whenever computations revealed that the time was approaching when a
new universal empire would materialize comprising all the lands 'from the Upper Sea where the sun sets to the
Lower Sea where the sun rises’, a king of Assyria chose the throne name Sargon ... The first Assyrian ruler who
adopted both the title sarrum 'king' and the more ambitious and programmatic 'king of the universe' was
Shamshi-Adad I, who actually assembled an empire of impressive proportions under his sceptre; the last was
Nabonidus, king of Babylon, who tried to emulate his illustrious ancestor, Esarhaddon.
The Assyrian rulers showed their reverence for Sargon and Naram-Sin not only by their conquests. The
Babylonians bitterly resented it when a king built his residence in a city other than Babylon; this resentment is
