are we sure the image is "Sargon and a dignitary"? I would consider the possibility that it is actually Sargon and a god. dab (ᛏ) 21:05, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I've heard the "Sargon and a god" thing too, associated with this particular image, but the new description came with the commons image, so I assumed that knowledge has improved since I read Near Eastern archaeology. It would be good to get the original source, or a paper addressing the possibilities. Stan 09:02, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- According to 'Une archéologie des peuples du Proche-Orient'by Huot, it is Sargon and a dignitary. Hope that helps. I think a god is unlikely, one would expect it to wear a horned crown. Djaser 15:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Did his reign begin 5674 BC? The date at the top says 721, but the article uses 722.

This article should be broken into subsections. It'd make for easier reading than the currenty block-o'-text approach.

[edit] Red links
OMG!! Someone needs to deal with the red links! Either create the pages for the links, or take out the links --BatzMonkey 18:49, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
