<P> The Akkadian Period is generally dated to either : c. 2334 BC -- c. 2154 BC ( according to the middle chronology timeline of the Ancient Near East ) , or c. 2270 BC -- c. 2083 BC ( according to the short chronology timeline of the Ancient Near East . ) It was preceded by the Early Dynastic Period of Mesopotamia ( ED ) and succeeded by the Ur III Period , although both transitions are blurry . For example : it is likely that the rise of Sargon of Akkad coincided with the late ED Period and that the final Akkadian kings ruled simultaneously with the Gutian kings alongside rulers at the city - states of both : Uruk and Lagash . The Akkadian Period is contemporary with : EB IV ( in Israel ) , EB IVA and EJ IV ( in Syria ) , and EB IIIB ( in Turkey . ) </P>
