So I was wondering what would the affects of a more powerful Akkadian Empire that was able to Conquer Syria and pretty much become the Assyrian Empire?
Well it's so far back the butterflies would change everything but if an Akkadian Empire was able to conquer Syria, Palestine, and early Egypt which would serve as the empire grain source like it did for Rome affect things? For one I think Cuneiform would evolve into the main alphabet and with little development into the Area around the Mesopotamian civilizations once it fell it might end up like Alexanders successor states or after the Fall of the western Roman Empire with numerous people claiming to be the Roman Emperor and Perhaps a unifier later on reconnecting it? Not too sure how advanced egypt was yet but if one of the Kings of Akkad had married into the Royalty in Egypt and inheriting it could be another way it survived or something.
Though what would the POD be? Earlier Iron development? Sargon lives another ten years? Sargon instead of trying to take Syria consolidates his power in Mesopotamia giving the kingdom more strength to take Syria in another reign?
Anyways it would be funny to see people claiming to be the "Sarru Keinnu"
Also as a bonus anyone wanna try to make up or piece together the Gaps in the Story of Sargon?
