About 2330 B.C. the first Sargon the Great conquers the place of Sumer. Sargon also made the north Mesopotamian
City Agade his capital. His new kingdom was known as “Sumer and Akkad”. In 2279 B.C. Sargon died and his son
took his spot. In 2220 B.C. Akkad and Sumer were conquered and the Gutians from the Gutians.
En-hedu-Ana was the daughter of Sargon the Great. She
was considered as en, or High Priestess, of Nanna, the Sumerian Mood God, in the
ancient Sumerian city of Ur (Southern Iraq). The en-priestess lived in
the giparu, which were private, residential quarters. The giparu contained the
temple of Ningal and a cemetery. Her clothing 
consisted
of a rolled brim cap and she wore a flounced gown. En-hedu-Ana was buried in
this cemetery. 
The en-Priestess is now known more for her writings. At the end of the Sumerian temple hymns, she wrote, “mainstream”. It was the first compilation of hymns of Sumer and Akkad. Some of her other writing were “Queen of divine powers”,
“Stout-hearted Lady”, “Inanna and Ebih”, “The Collection of 42 Sumerian Temple Hymns”,“Hymn of Praise to Ekishnugal and Nanna on Assumption of enship”, and “Hymn of Praise of Enheduana’.
The Akkadians spoke a language from many languages called Semitic languages. The languages were Hebrew, Arabic, Assyrian, and Babylonian. Around 2000 B.C. at the end of the Sumerian power and civilization, the Semitic people were in control, and continued control for centuries.
Sargon
Sargon’s empire was in the city of Akkad, the name of his people became the Akkadians. About 2125 B.C., the Sumerian city of Ur in Mesopotamia went up in revolt, and the Akkadian empire fell.
