| Depends on how you define "empire" ... but its commonly accepted it was the first real empire .... Sargon conquered the most populated city in the world ... what the heck were Egyptians doing then? Pepi II was the name of the king during Sargons rule ... and from the looks of it he didn't conquer or do crap ... BTW the other candidates of "first empire" are all Iraqi so lol Egypt loses | |

- Map of ancient Egypt, showing major cities and sites of the Dynastic period (c. 3150 BC to 30 BC)
That's a huge land mass. | |

| And this is at max terriroty: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Egypt_NK_edit.svgI just realized this ...for some reason Egyptians always wanted to conquer Syria...this was seen in ancient times...medieval (Mamluke empire) and Modern Egypt (Egypt and Syria united in the 1950s). lol | |

| Not to brag or anything but Iraq still excelled in its military capabilities and was an economic hub of the middle east; the housing was pretty advanced as well (they had houses with two floors, balconies etc.) and they had a primitive form of aqueducts. Forget vastness of borders and how long they dated back, the first civilization that had a thriving urban life was the one the Akkadian empire brought. Their armour, weaponry, and art was way ahead of its time and some of the former can even be compared with the Roman weaponry and armour that existed only thousands of years later. | |
