Synopsis: Sargon of Akkad forges the world’s first Empire.
“After Enlil’s baleful glare
Had slain Kish like the Bull of Heaven,
Had slaughtered house and land of Uruk in the dust, 
     like that monster bull,
And Enlil had then and there given Sargon, king of Agade,
Lordship of Uruk, kingship of Kish,
From the lowlands to the upper regions, 
Then did holy Inanna busy herself to build
Agade, the temple city, as her sublime dwelling,
In Ulmash let her throne be set.” – The curse of Agade
