| | Dwarfed by the great empires of the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians and Egyptians, were the Hebrews. | | | Lecture 4: The Akkadians, Egyptians and the Hebrews | | | Sargon brought vast amounts of wealth to the capital city – he also brought a huge number of royal servants and administrators, thus creating a bureaucratic organization to help rule his kingdom. |

| | The language of writing for this particular scribe and his milieu was still Sumerian, but in reporting stylized direct speech he acknowledged that the vernacular in his world was already Akkadian. | | | Such a scenario would fall in line with Walter Sallaberger’s recent assertion (1999: 129)—arguing against both Cooper (1973) and the present writer (1991)—that Sumerian had to be a living language, albeit under pressure from Akkadian, in Ur III times. | | | Many that have been concerned with the issue would probably agree that from the earliest readable texts on, we find extensive evidence of Semitic loans (noted already years ago by Falkenstein, Gelb and others; see, for example, Rubio 1999). |

| | The driving force of that empire was the Akkadians, so called after the city of Akkad, which Sargon chose for his capital (it has not yet been identified but was presumably located on the Euphrates between Sippar and Kish). | | | The main sources for Sargon's reign, with its high points and catastrophes, are copies made by Old Babylonian scribes in Nippur from the very extensive originals that presumably had been kept there. | | | Sargon based his empire in the city of Akkad, which became the basis of the name of his people. |

| | A cadastral survey seems also to have been instituted, and one of the documents relating to it states that a certain Uru-Malik, whose name appears to indicate his Canaanite origin, was governor of the land of the Amorites, or Amurru as the semi-nomadic people of Syria and Canaan were called in Akkadian. | | | Naram-Sin recorded the Akkadian's wars against the Armani or Armeni people in Ararat. | | | It is still unknown at this time if the wars with the Armeni people of Ararat contributed to the collapse of the Akkadian kingdom. |

| | Akkadian cuneiform |
| | Akkadian, a Semitic language that was spoken in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq and Syria) between about 2800 BC and 500 AD. | | | Between 200 and 400 symbols were used to Akkadian, though in some texts many more appear. | | | Akkadian, like Japanese, was polysyllabic and used a range of inflections while Sumerian, like Chinese, had few or no inflections. |

| | CDLJ 2003:4 |
| | In view of these past scholarly achievements, attempting a relative positioning of Ur III Akkadian within the early history of Akkadian is more realistic today than ever before. | | | The [Akkadian] dialect predominantly documented during the Sargonic period is presumably the native tongue of the Akkade rulers and their elites, which was consistently introduced as the official language of administration. | | | This is the case not only because Ur III Akkadian represents a practical chronological link between Sargonic Akkadian on the one hand and Old Babylonian and Old Assyrian on the other, but also because until very recently it was a matter of pure speculation what linguistic properties Ur III Akkadian did indeed possess. |

| | Also important are the epic tales about Sargon of Akkad, one of which, the birth legend, tells of his abandonment in a casket on the river by his mother--much as the Bible tells that Moses was abandoned--and his discovery by an orchardman, who raised him as his son. | | | Other Akkadian epics that deserve to be mentioned are the Etana epic, which tells how Etana, the first king, was carried up to heaven on the back of an eagle to obtain the plant of birth so that his son could be born. | | | The Akkadian myths are in many ways dependent on Sumerian materials, but they show originality and a broader scope in their treatment of the earlier Sumerian concepts and forms; they address themselves more often to existence as a whole. |

| | Sargon also brought to West Asia the new idea that a king should be succeeded by his sons; before this the new king had been elected by the rich men of each city. | | | Naram-Sin was succeeded by his own son Shar-kali-Sharri, but Shar-kali-Sharri failed to hold the Akkadian Empire together, and around 2100 BC it gradually fell apart into a bunch of small kingdoms and cities as it hd been under the Sumerians. | | | Sargon, according to Sumerian literature, was born to an Akkadian high priestess and a poor father, maybe a gardener. |

| | Thus, we believe that it is reasonable to conclude that there was a strong connection between the Akkadian and Celtic peoples on the Anatolian plains. | | | Akkadian was a Northern Peripheral Semitic language of which Babylonian and Assyrian were Lower Mesopotamian dialects. | | | The strong overall relationship between the Akkadian and Celtic languages suggests that the Indo-European and Semitic language families and cultures were once strongly related. |
