An empire was a group of states and territories conquered by one ruler.

Defeat could be painful but often ended wars.

Through thousands of years the peoples of the Middle East built great empires and made long-lasting innovations. The region became a vital crossroads where warriors and traders met, clashed, and mingled.

Many of the beliefs and ideas of the ancient Middle East survived to shape our modern world.

Many warriors descended on the rich cities of the Fertile Crescent; some created well-organized

empires.

In 2300 B.C., Sargon, ruler of Akkad, invaded Sumer and built the first empire.

By 1790 B.C., Hammurabi, king of Babylon, had added most of Mesopotamia to his empire.
