It's Time We Stop Sexualizing Sargon, Emperor of Akkad and First Unifier of Mesopotamia

A Yale professor of Ancient Mesopotamian history has warned that the online sexualization of Sargon of Akkad — the 4,300-year-old ruler who united Mesopotamia's city-states into the world's first empire — is setting unattainable body-image standards for young men. #SexySargon trended on TikTok for 28 consecutive days, and one influencer, Jessica_unhinged, defended her collection of 276 AI edits of the emperor. Sargon himself has made no public statement, having been dead since roughly 2279 BC.
