If it's true that a man dies twice: once when his body fails, the second when his name is last spoken...
Then I swear this cheeky fucker is going to outlive us all!
Not again, Ea-Nasir. You cannot keep getting away with thisi
I usually think this joke is beaten into the ground, but I like this execution, it's great!
I love this meme. It is as beautiful and enduring as the copper ingots I once received from the honorable Ea-nāṣir of Ur. Many blessings upon his house.
"But, we were highly trusted in Ancient Sumeria, honest!"
"Your grasp of metalworking and material science looks like it belongs in 3000 B.C. too."
You have to admit, quality or not, the guy has the longest running brand recognition. Any PR is good PR.
What do you take me for, that you treat somebody like me with such contempt? I have sent as messengers gentlemen like ourselves to collect the bag with my money (deposited with you) but you have treated me with contempt by sending them back to me empty-handed several times, and that through enemy territory. Is there anyone among the merchants who trade with Telmun who has treated me in this way? You alone treat my messenger with contempt!
Lmao "questions, complaints? Fill out the clay tablet..."

Hahaha, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complaint_tablet_to_Ea-n%C4%81%E1%B9%A3ir it's good/bad to know that humans have always been the same.
This is fantastic.
Looks like bad copper to me.
Mesopotamia's Best! These are the copper fittings that built civilization. In fact it was these exact ones.
Maybe it wouldn't hurt to do some googling? You know what they say, what's on the internet is chiseled in stone.
Should have saved this dank meme for Mesopotamia Monday
Its a diamond 💎 alloy.

"Those are speed-holes. They make the car go faster."
Not a history buff so I don't understand the reference.
Looks more like a Harbor Freight brand.
It's a long "a"? I've been using a short "a" this whole time.
Looks moldy. I would not eat.
Nanni: I'd like file a complaint.
Clerk: Ok, throws complaint away, nobody's ever gonna see that again...
This only happens when it is exposed to oxygen, just don't expose it to the air or water and it's totally fine. Works best if you use these fittings in the wall, behind some tiles, preferably of a newly renovated kitchen.
/S
Does anyone know the context of the complaint's purpose? Like was this for arbitration of some sort?
i love the attached clay tablet
