Reigning for approximately 25 years, both Sumer and Akkad fell under his domain and he made his capital in the city of Uruk. While no one knows how he rose to power, we do know that he was adept at war – or he knew who to put in charge. His kingdoms’ borders expanded while he fought against the city-state of Lagash. However, he was no match for Sargon, who swept in and took control after a short conflict.
