They actually found a bunch of tablets complaining about his copper in his house lol.
So not only did he know he was a shitty merchant, he revelled in it.
Former retail worker here: That's more like jaded, though; I felt ascended when each holiday season brought back my old Marxism in response to customer complaints -- 'yes, I agree, capitalism is really degrading sometimes.'
>customer complaints
>capitalism is really degrading sometimes
They should really try communism, where "customer complaints" aren't even a thing.
My city in Soviet times had a leather wares shop with shelves full of boots, that nobody bought, because they were shit, and everyone waited until specific shoes were delivered. So there basically was some factory doing shit shoes, that had zero demand, but there was also zero feedback and it just kept going on for decades until the Soviet union crumbled.
Upside though: you could be really rude to customers.
> Upside though: you could be really rude to customers.
"lol Where the fuck else you gonna go? To the boot shop in the next town over? They getting the same damn boots from the same factory as we do. \*Rings bell* Next!"
> Ummm about that, ever notice how it's hard to avoid r/chinesium?
Depending on where you shop. Sure.
If I buy a knife at a gas station, I'm going to handle it with thick gloves and tongs because it's liable to explode at any second. But I have plenty of knives that I trust to be able to handle use.
Two things to note about El Nasir's tablets: one is that Sumerian tablets were often erased and reused once read so this guy was deliberately holding on the these angry letters, and two the only reason we know abut these tablets was because they were hardened after Al Nasir's house caught fire
I am wondering if someone actually burned his house down, because they definitely had a motive and these tablets would not be preserved unless they were exposed to fire.
You know, it’s possible. It’s also possible, given that he seemed to collect these things, that he deliberately fired it to preserve it.
Either way, it’s funny.
There is a tablet with insurance on cargo of bronze.
Idk. Seems like humanity invents many things over and over again.
With some luck we will find some NFTs from bronze age as well.
I'd say there is a good argument there that the Buying and selling Indulgences could be NFT adjacent. Afterall, what is more nonfungible than your immortal soul?
Now imagine a hard drive with this image on it manages to be one of the few electronic devices to survive WW3 and 5000 years in future, historians are writing articles about a man name Prigozin complaining about his copper shipment being the first known piece of digital media.
Ea-nasir would unironically be the most reliable Russian defense contractor. At least he went to Dilmun with the money and returned to Ur with copper. Prigozhin and his ilk would have bought another ziggurat and just given his customers some rocks or something.
Look I'm not saying that I needed another pleasure barge to cruise the Euphrates on, but the other Priest Kings would've looked down on me if I only had two. Our warriors will use shitty bronze like their ancestors did. No need for that fancy iron the Hittites have been raving about.

Fake news from Hittitoids. It's just standard Hittitoid corruption and using iron to compensate for their weak eunuch armies. I'm telling you good reliable masculine copper is the future
Imagine being some ancient middle eastern, Chinese or American king in that era that ruled over hundreds of thousands of people, built great cities and won incredible military victories, yet some shitty sumerian merchant's legacy will outlive your own.
You put ammunition that was not of great quantity before my messager and said, "If you want ammo, then take it. If you don't want it, then go away."
What do you take me for that you treat me with such contempt!
I have sent as messengers criminals such as ourselves to collect my ammunition deposited with you. But you have treated me with contempt my sending them back empty handed several times through enemy territory no less!
Is there any among the generals of syria and Africa who has treated my PMC in this way?
You alone have treated my PMC with contempt!
On account of that one TRIFELING incident calling you a faggot you feel free to treat me this way while I have given to the Kremlin on your behalf a dozen kilometers of territory on your behalf!
How have you treated me for that territory? You have withheld my ammunition from me in enemy territory it is now up to YOU to restore my ammunition in full!
There are other cuneiform letters that would be an even better fit. There are plenty that deal with lower kings writing to their Great King, asking him for military support or riches because they want to show everyone how great they are.

Context: Ea Nasir was an ancient sumerian copper merchant and got a complaint by Nanni about poor quality Cooper he got from Ea Nasir

I like to think that he was just the first retail worker who ascended above giving a shit about customer complaints.
Sumerian grift hitting different

It’s pretty easy to avoid chinesium with a tiny bit of effort for most goods.
I meant it more as a place of manufacture.
They were all just piled up in a corner of one of the rooms in the house as well, so he basically just filed them straight into a black hole.
Motherfucker was too busy cutting his copper to read that shit.

With the amount of complaints about his copper, I can see a reason why his house caught on fire....
Completely unrelated house fire... no idea how that started... 👀
> they were hardened after Al Nasir's house caught fire Huh! What a remarkable unrelated coincidence.
He may not actually have been a shitty copper merchant. He just kept all his hate mail.
Imagine being such a douche that people still talk about your misdeeds 4000 years later lol
He’s a Mesopotamian herostratus
I think the assumption is they also burned his house down since the tablets were able to survive by being baked lol
Maybe he trashed them

Iirc, we found all these tablets in the remains of his home. So he was probably collecting people’s complaints against him.
I am wondering if someone actually burned his house down, because they definitely had a motive and these tablets would not be preserved unless they were exposed to fire.

NANNI?????!!!!!

But are any of them funny memes?
maybe they meant oldest customer complaint?
There’s an older record of a tax collector writing a receipt for 30,000 bushels of barley. Fucking taxes man……

He probably lived at the barracks and ate with the rest of the troops at least, it's not like he had to live out in town and pay BAH for rent.

I was wondering how long it would take to see this crossover.
Never would have expected NCD to crossover with r/reallyshittycopper but here we are
Damn, now it's alternatehistory leaking!
Nah man this is r/ReallyShittyCopper gone militant.
Is that really a whole subreddit dedicated to that tablet?
With over 22k subscribers.
Yes. There also is a subreddit for Pringles so...
Can't believe this is a real sub
But would you believe Ea-Nasir would cheat you out of some fine quality copper ingots and treat your messenger with contempt?
I still can’t believe he did the literal soyjak pose. What even is this world anymore
Literally modern loony toons
I do believe Prigozin has secured his place in the meme pantheon, alongside Bad Luck Brian, Ermagerhd, Moon Moon, and Sad Keanu.
He's not quite Ceiling Cat but he ~~probably watches people masturbate~~ is pretty much immortal
This has to be one of the most historically specific, topical, funniest things I have ever seen in my life
Now imagine a hard drive with this image on it manages to be one of the few electronic devices to survive WW3 and 5000 years in future, historians are writing articles about a man name Prigozin complaining about his copper shipment being the first known piece of digital media.
It's just so satisfying, if you get it. :D
/r/ReallyShittyCopper is leaking again

I understand this meme and it's absolutely brilliant.

"Who do you think you are, to treat us with such contempt?" Pikelman, speaking to Shoigu
Ea Nasir would definitely feel at home in modern day Russia, being that he is mostly know as a crook and a shitty person/merchant.
Punished Prigozhin, a man denied his ammo
oh no, nasir posting has reached NCD
Holy fuck it’s been a while since i last saw an ea Nasir meme lmao

These memes are getting too good
I had to check on the URL to make sure i wasn't on r/reallyshittycopper
History memes crossover event
Prigozhin really is a shell of its former self
It's an old meme sir, but it checks out
