The difficult part for contemporary historians to study the Akkadian state is that most of the relevant documents are related to the date of the next turn after the collapse of this state. Texts written during the lifetime of Sargon hardly survive. Naramsin inscriptions come from all over the country, but they can not be arranged in a reliable chronological order. In the years following the Akkadian state, the military expeditions of both kings were not forgotten and continued to be recorded for centuries. Particularly, the scribers began to record the inscriptions on the tellas of Sargon and Naramsin in the cities of southern Mesopotamia on clay tablets in the Old Babylonian Age. In Anatolia, the legends about the Akkadian kings were first written in cuneiform documents in the period of Assyrian Trade Colonies and then, in Hittite State in the 2nd millenium BC. A tablet from Kültepe about Akkadian king Sargon is one of his examples. Documents related to this issue in the Hittite Age have become more diversified. These are the annals of Hattušili I.,šar tamhari texts, the legends about Naramsin, the šarrena ritual and the heroic deeds of Gurparanzah. These documents were written in Akkadian, Hittite and Hurrian. We find the most comprehensive information about Sargon and Naramsin in Kültepe text, šar tamhari texts, Seventeen Kings and Cuthean Legend.
