Sargon the Great Coloring Page

Sargon was the king of Akkad, a city in Mesopotamia, and he joined the old Sumerian city-states into one big kingdom. Many historians call it the first empire. He ruled for more than fifty years, and his empire was remembered for centuries after he died.

A later story says that his mother set him afloat as a baby in a reed basket on the river, and a gardener found him and raised him. People have noticed it sounds a lot like the story of baby Moses, which was written down much later.
