Who were the Akkadians?
The Akkadians were very similar to the Sumerians. The Akkadians lived in large cities called "city-states." Each city-state had its own laws and its own rulers. The city-states of the Akkadian Empire fought each other often.
The Akkadians lived north of the Sumerians, so the two civilizations were far enough away to have different languages.
