Who was Sargon?

>>3376950
An Akaddian war lord who began the tradition of taking someone else's better society and imposing your shitty language and culture onto it, while revering the old one as sacred because it wasn't retarded

sounds like Sauron

>>3376950
The first emperor in the world, was pretty smart and created a relatively stable empire through political posturing. It later fell apart to rebellion and weaker leaders.

No, Tolkien was a Linguist who derived all his names by a metric of his own derivation. He wasn't like Game of Thrones man who takes a name and changes it slightly such that it sounds vaguely fantastical.

"[Sargon] had neither rival nor equal. His splendor, over the lands it diffused. He crossed the sea in the east. In the eleventh year he conquered the western land to its farthest point. He brought it under one authority. He set up his statues there and ferried the west's booty across on barges. He stationed his court officials at intervals of five double hours and ruled in unity the tribes of the lands. He marched to Kazallu and turned Kazallu into a ruin heap, so that there was not even a perch for a bird left"

Damn

Akkad probably wasn't a grand place. It was probably like most Canaanite dwellings like Amalek, a place that just vaguely denotes a region where the tribe tends to be.

Akkad was probably just the area the Akkadians lived, and was replaced by any number of different tribes

>>3377027
Well did the tried to conquer the free people?

Sauron is more like a representation of industrialization and all consuming war, like that seen in WWI. LotR isn't an allegory, so he doesn't stand in for anyone in particular.

"But because of the evil which he had committed, the great lord Marduk was angry, and he destroyed his people by famine. From the rising of the sun unto the setting of the sun they opposed him and gave him no rest"

WOW Marduk = Melkor & Morgoth

Did tolkien just stole the Akkadian history for his novel?

What do you mean?
That they didn't build any city?
Beca use they did, and they didn't get replaced, amorites just invaded

He supports an extensive welfare state and gay rights. The only "right wing" thing about him is that he hates women but who fucking doesn't.

non-virgins?
