The Akkadian Empire lasted from 2334Â â 2154 BC.
The Empire was founded by Sargon of Akkad, and in the reign of his successor RimuĆĄ, briefly fought a war against the armies of Meluhha (the Harappans or a mercenary force employed by them), which was part of an alliance with Elam, in present day Iran.
An inscription from RimuĆĄ reads :
"RimuĆĄ, the king of the world, in battle over Abalgamash, king of Parahshum, was victorious. And Zahara[51] and Elam and Gupin and Meluáž«áž«a within Paraáž«ĆĄum assembled for battle, but he (Rimush) was victorious and struck down 16,212 men and took 4,216 captives. Further, he captured Ehmahsini, King of Elam, and all the nobles of Elam. Further he captured Sidaga'u the general of Paraáž«ĆĄum and Sargapi, general of Zahara, in between the cities of Awan and Susa, by the "Middle River". Further a burial mound at the site of the town he heaped up over them. Furthermore, the foundations of Paraáž«ĆĄum from the country of Elam he tore out, and so RimuĆĄ, king of the world, rules Elam, (as) the god Enlil had shown..."
