Show Notes
In this episode of The History AI Podcast, Chuck and Marco head back to ancient Mesopotamia to meet Sargon the Great—the ruler who turned a patchwork of rival city-states into what many consider the world’s first empire. From the legendary “baby in a basket” origin story to the hard realities of conquest, rebellion, and rule, we break down how Sargon built Akkad into a powerhouse and why his blueprint for power echoed through history for centuries.
