No one really knows how he died.
Sargon, Mesopotamia.
The first recorded true empire was established by Sargon of Akkad (the Great). This occurred about 2250 BC in the Mesopotamia region that is presently Iraq and Syria.
Sargon was able to develop a military style that allowed him to conquer neighboring cities. He controlled much of the Mesopotamian area. He built roads and new cities. He was a good administrator and placed someone close to him in each of the captured cities. His daughter, Enheduanna, was a great writer, the first author to be known by name.
