[edit] There is another legend of Sargon...

The last sentence of the article: "There is another legend of Sargon, perhaps Assyrian." And then it just stops. Does anyone know what the legend is, because simply saying there is one and then ending the article is just awkward. --Rob117 22:35, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image is gone

Does anyone know how to restore it?--Rob117 23:47, 14 October 2005 (UTC) n

It was deleted because it had no copyright tag on it. If it's your picture, why don't you try uploading it again, and tagging it properly?--ViolinGirl 15:46, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

It's not mine and I didn't upload it; I just thought it was a cool picture and was surprised when it was gone.--Rob117 05:10, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

In theory, I think it is better than the previous version of the article. In actuality, it needs so much work just to be halfway understandable that I was about to revert it to the previous version. Seriously, I don't even know what some of the words in the article are supposed to mean. I think I'll work on it though, to the extent that I can, as I have time.Tommstein 10:00, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] improvement

This page is not so clear, and there is wome work to do, maybe I will try later. .Saggiga One photo of Sargon is missing, I will look for this and add it. I will also try to clean up the article and keep only scientific facts.
