14:45Now PlayingIn the previous episode of our historical animated documentary series on the history of Ancient Mesopotamia we discussed the rise and fall of the first empire in history - The Akkadian Empire. Its great rulers from Sargon to Naram-Sin broke the mold and set in motion a way of running a state which would be emulated for thousands of years to come. From this point forward the Empire would be the prominent form of government, however before another could rise in the region a dark age had to be overcome. After the fall of Akkad, the Gutians had established their own dynasty and hegemony in the Euphrates river valley which would set the stage of what was to come. Welcome to our video on the brief ‘Sumerian renaissance’ and the eventual rise of Babylon.
