Synopsis: The Akkadian Empire reaches its zenith under the rule of Naram-Sin.
“Its king, the shepherd, Naram-Sin,
Shone forth like sunrise on the holy throne of Agade,
Its walls, like a mountain range, reached up to graze the sky.
Holy Inanna opened in them spacious gates, Big enough to let the Tigris flow out through them to the sea.” – The Curse of Agade
