    Other tablets have been found in the ruins believed to be Ea-nāṣir's dwelling. These include a letter from a man named Arbituram who complained he had not received his copper yet, while another said he was tired of receiving bad copper.

    Dude saved his hate mail.

    Dunno. IIRC reading that the type of clay tablet found was designed to be reused, but for it to have survived this long it would have had to be fired so the assumption is that Ea-Nasir's house burned. I suspect arson.

    I wish I had a source

    It was the bronze age where cities just burned sometimes, so that says less than you'd think.

    That much hate mail arriving in a short period or Ea Nasir just having a devoted hate mail meditation room are both memeable.
