Before empires ruled the ancient world, Mesopotamia was divided into rival city-states locked in endless conflict. Then one man changed history forever.

In Episode 1 of this historical series, we explore the astonishing rise of Sargon of Akkad—a man born in secrecy, abandoned in a basket on a river, and raised far from royalty. Long before the story of Moses, Sargon’s legend told of a child destined for greatness.

Once a humble cupbearer to the King of Kish, Sargon used military innovation, strategy, and ambition to overthrow the old order. By creating the first professional standing army and mastering ranged warfare, he conquered Sumer and founded Akkad, the world’s first true empire.
