There were many important achievements that the Akkadian Empire created. • The first one is how Sargon was the fist that made it when he dies his sons will rule. • The second achievement is that the Akkadians came up with steles, their own sculpture. • The third achievement is how Sargon made temples and palaces a more common thing by building many of them.

  5. The Assyrian Empire had many important achievements. • First they came up with new weapons and strategies, they used iron weapons, horses, battering rams, and much more. • The second is that they built aqueducts. • The third reason is because they made a new type of sculpture called bas-reliefs.

  6. There were many achievements made by the Neo- Babylonian Empire too. • One achievement was the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. • Another reason is because of the 1st sun dial. • The last reason is the sixty minute hour and seven day week the Neo-Babylonians created.
