Shar-Kali-Sharri's reign was troublesome from the earliest starting point in that he, as well, needed to consume a lot of exertion in putting down rebellions after his dad's passing in any case, in contrast to his antecedents, appeared to come up short on the capacity to keep up request and was unfit to keep further assaults on the domain from without. Leick expresses, "In spite of his endeavors and fruitful military battles, he was not ready to shield his state from breaking down and, after his demise, composed sources evaporated in a period of expanded insurgency and disarray" (The A-Z of Mesopotamia, 159). Strangely, it is realized that "his most significant structure task was the recreation of the Sanctuary of Enlil at Nippur" and maybe this occasion, combined with the attack of the Gutians and an across the board starvation, offered ascend to the later legend which developed into The Scourge of Agade. Shar-Kali-Sarri pursued practically persistent war against the Elamites, the Ammorites and the attacking Gutians however it is the Gutian Intrusion which has been most generally credited with the breakdown of the Akkadian Realm and the Mesopotamian dim age which resulted. Ongoing examinations, in any case, guarantee that it was doubtlessly environmental change which caused a starvation and, maybe, disturbance in exchange, debilitating the realm to the point where the kind of intrusions and uprisings which, before, were squashed, could never again be managed so effectively. The last two lords of Akkad following the passing of Shar-Kali-Sharri, Dudu and his child Shu-Turul, controlled just the region around the city and are once in a while referenced in relationship with the realm. Similarly as with the ascent of the city of Akkad, its fall is a riddle and all that is realized today is that, once, such a city existed whose rulers controlled a huge realm, the principal domain on the planet, and after that passed on into memory and legend.
