Which geographic factor have scholars linked with the decline of the Akkadian empire?

A. Drought in Northern Mesopotamia

B. Flooding in Western Persia

C. Famine in Eastern Egypt

D. Earthquake in Southern Mediterranean

Correct answer choice is:

A) Drought in Northern Mesopotamia

Explanation:

Future Mesopotamian nations distinguished themselves to the Akkadian Empire, which they regarded as a solemn example in governance. The prosperity was reliant on flooded farmlands of southern Iraq, and rain-fed agriculture of Northern Iraq. There was normally a remainder of agriculture but needs of other assets, like metal ore, timber, and construction stone. Art of the time often centered on kings and drew shady and strict struggle and subjugation to deities. Sumerians and Akkadians were bilingual in each other’s semantics, but Akkadian gradually displaced Sumerian. The empire had a postal service, and a library featuring enormous conclusions.

The correct answer for this question is A - the geographic factor that scholars have linked with the decline of the Akkadian empire is the drought in Northern Mesopotamia. The drought in Northern Mesopotamia is a relatively recent theory, solved only by the research of a team of archeologists, geologists and soil scientists.
