How much truth is there to the Moses story?

Was his childhood and birth lifted from the foundation myth of Sargon of Akkad?

Anyone studied this extensively? I know there isn't much information other than Sargon himself ruled circa 2300 B.C. and his story may have been the genesis of the Moses story just like other Mesopotamian and Sumerian stories that possible are the basis for the Torah.
