Episode A6 - The Reign of Ishtar

Synopsis: The Akkadian Empire reaches its zenith under the rule of Naram-Sin. “Its king, the shepherd, Naram-Sin, Shone forth like sunrise on the holy throne of Agade, Its walls, like a mountain range, reached up to graze the sky. Holy Inanna opened in them spacious gates, Big enough to let the Tigris flow out through them to the sea.” - The Curse of Agade Original Episode Art by Mike Oeming: https://michaelavonoeming.com Bust of Naram-sin by Museum Art Replicas: https://www.etsy.com/shop/MuseumArtReplicas Map of SW Eurasia: https://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/A6_Map.png Map of the Akkadian Empire (by Simeon Netchev, World History Encyclopedia): https://www.worldhistory.org/uploads/images/15457.png?v=1748640186-0 Episode Images: https://www.flickr.com/photos/75506172@N07/albums/72177720327300092 References and Further Reading: https://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/A6_References.pdf Please contact [e-mail] if you would like to advertise on this podcast.
