The three main reasons for the decline and eventual fall of summer include:

  • Climate Change
  • Unavailability of an army to maintain order
  • The thirst for conquest of the neighbouring Akkhadian empire.

The major problems faced by Sargon the Mighty in relation to this is therefore: <em><u>setting the standard for future rulers and kingdoms.</u></em>

<em><u>setting the standard for future rulers and kingdoms. </u></em>

  • Climate change was the primary driver of decline of Summer. As a result of poorer crop production, Summer became less capable of responding to famine.

Ultimately, city-states in Summer were eventually absorbed into the Akkadian population.

  • Coupled with the aforementioned, there was no role model to follow in managing a large number of communities who were fighting with each other. As a result, there was only one source of order at the time( The temple for worship of the about 2000 gods or godesses).

  • <em>Collecting tribute for the gods was the priority of the </em>priests<em> of the temple than the constant warfare among the communities, and so never set up an army to maintain order. Although, each community had its an individual army.</em>

A heavy blow to Summer was the neighboring Akkadian empire, which had a army and a thirst for conquest.

  • <em>Sargon the Mighty was the Leader of the Akkadian empire and he faced the problem of making extensive and efficient use of bureaucracy and administration on a large scale and set and consequently, set the standard for future rulers and kingdoms.</em>

PS: Sargon the mighty's mother could not reveal her pregnancy or keep the child, and so she set him adrift in a basket on the Euphrates River where he was later found by a man named Akki who was a gardener for Ur-Zababa, the King of the Sumerian city of Kish.

Ahy trained historians of Japan in the Western world was too small to sustain such an enterprise. Although that number has grown, the general editors have thought it best to draw on Japanese specialists for contributions in areas where they retain a clear authority. In such cases the act of translation itself involves a form of editorial cooperation that requires the skills of a trained historian whose name deserves acknowledgment.
