	Sargon and Moses. On their birth stories
		In favor of an early date are, for example, the abundant Sargon literature of an early period, correspondences with the Sumerian King List, and the match of the adoption process to the known process of the early time.
		Sargon's story gives no reason for the secrecy, but the social background explains it: As a high priestess, Sargon's mother had to avoid pregnancy to hold her office.
		On the other hand, the verb describing the actions of Sargon's mother means to throw or cast down, and has the secondary sense of "to abandon." [46] Her actions were not intended to lead to Sargon being discovered, as may be further seen in the next point.

		Though Sargon may have accurately recorded the results of his own invasion and deportation of Israel's northern kingdom during his first year, he left unrecorded the much greater Israelite deportation by his predecessor, leaving the impression that his own feats were greater than they actually were.

For any who believe in the accuracy of the Scriptures the biblical record is the most reliable historical source.

		Sargon II (Sharru-Kin the Assyrian) also attempted to reconstruct an earler dynasty (that of Sargon of Agade, founder of the Akkadian kingdom of 2300 BCE) by personifying himself as Sargon returned, and constructing a vast new city called Dur-Sharrukin.
