2220 BCE (POD) - The 4.2 Kiloyear Event, which devastated much of the world through drought and caused the collapse of many ancient civilizations, does not affect Akkad, allowing the empire to continue as its rivals fall to the elements. 2215 BCE - The Guti Army tries to sack Akkad, not knowing that the 4.2 Kiloyear Event had not affected Akkad. Thinking the battle will not take long, the Guti tribal army does not bring sufficient resources. As a result, the Akkadian army, albeit with heavy casualties, successfully fends off the Guti. 2214 BCE - Rimush I is crowned King of Akkad.
