Who are the Germans?
traceable from the earliest times down to the end of their empire: in the Chronicle concerning Sargon and
Naram-Sin, they blame the founder of the Akkadian dynasty for having built, near Akkad, 'a likeness of
Babylon'xxxviii [emphasis mine throughout].
Note how the Assyrians claimed succession from Akkad, but not so the Babylonians.
All we can say with absolute certainty is that Sargon and his successors conquered the land that later became known as
Assur and had many descendants who dwelt there.xxxix We know that both cities of Nineveh and Assur benefited
greatly from the Akkadian kings' building activities. At Assur, a dagger blade has been found bearing the name of
Abazu, and which was dedicated to Sargon's son, Man-ishtushu. Abazu appears as the thirteenth of seventeen early
'kings' on the Khorsabad list of Assyrian kings. Experts still don't know when to date the list, but it seems to begin
some time shortly after Sargon's death.xl After the chaos of the fall of the Akkadian Empire, the natural successors
were the Assyrians whose kingdom appears about 1900 B.C. with the opening of a new line of kings bearing Akkadian
names such as Sargon or Naram-Sin.xli Of the Assyrian king list historian Roux remarks:
. . .the great Assyrian king list found at Khorsabad. . .gives a series of seventeen kings of Assur who, if we are to
take the list at its face value, would have lived in Early Dynastic times. But here, as in the Sumerian list,
dynasties recorded as successive may have been in fact parallel. . .names of several early Assyrian monarchs —
such as Tudia, Ushpia, Sulili or Kikkia — are neither Semitic nor Sumerian, but belong to some other ethnic
stratum, possibly Hurrian.xlii
We should thus realisxe that from Asshur came the ongest succesion of great conquerors in the history of any nation
except Romexliii
Although there is no direct evidence at this time that Sargon was worshipped as Assur, nor is he the first on the king list,
we do know that Assur was the principle god of the Assyrians, the Assyrian kings themselves acting as the high priest
of Assur.xliv We also know that Sargon was highly revered by the Assyrians and virtually thought of as their ancestor,
particularly around the area of centre of his worship, the city Assur itself.
Relatively recently, archeologists have discovered that sharing the limelight with Akkad in the early post-flood period,
we find a rival power known as Ebla whose king at that time was Ebrum (the Biblical Eber?). A closely aligned city
was Mari. It appears that the early descendants of Ebla were descendants of Arphaxad (father of the Aryans), while
those in the vicinity of Mari were the early Aramaeans (notice the city of Mari in the north-western Soviet Union is in
the area of the Syrenians or Komi, descendants of Aram). Ebla was eventually ravished and burned by Naram-Sin (son
of Man-ishtushu and grandson of Sargon) which resulted in harsh and brutal treatment in true Akkadian (and Assyrian)
practice. People had to strive daily against disease and wars which resulted in turn in fire, decimation, slavery and
deportation.xlv The Gutians later wreaked revenge, shattering the Akkadian Empire of Shar-Kali-Sharri, son of Naram-
Sin, thus allowing the neo-Sumerian revival to take place. The Gutians were possibly descendants of Gether, son of
Aram.
The political chaos which ensued must have been considerable; for the compilers of the king-list content
themselves with the rhetorical question, 'Who was king? Who was not king?'xlvi
SARGON AND THE RACE QUESTION
To understand how the great Sargon viewed the race question and how he treated other races, we need to turn to the
outset of his reign--the genesis of his empire.
All the historians acknowledge that Sargon defeated Lugalzaggisi, son of Ukush in a surprise, blitzkrieg-type
attack.xlvii Lugalzaggisi was Nimrod, son of Cush. Cush was black and Nimrod himself appears to be of mixed
descent (Lugalzaggisi was the first post-flood dictator of Mesopotamia, known as the King of Uruk).
Fortunately for Lugalzaggisi, his life was spared, and he was permitted to return to Umma as a provincial governor.
From that time commenced the racial antagonism between the fair Akkadian- speaking north and the swarthy Sumerianspeaking
south.xlviii By the way, Lugal means great man or great kingxlix Also, texts from that period have been
found which may be translated as "the King is my Fortess", "the King is my God" and "Sargon is my God" which began
a perception by the Akkadians that Sargon and his successors were messiahs of some sortl.
Sargon thence commenced the process of making his people the dominant race in Babylonia.li Who were the
previously dominant people in Babylonia? According to Orrlii evidence suggests that the founders of Babylonia were
dark Hamites! In fact, after conquering Lugalzaggisi, his followers and descendants, Sargon said: For forty-five years
the kingdom I have ruled, and the black heads [euphemism for the black race] I have governed.liii
