Imagine writing a complaint on a fresh clay tablet, putting it into an oven and then standing there until it cooks, stewing
It’s way, way worse.
You can’t put wet clay directly in an oven, it will crack. So it has to dry first. But if it’s dry, it’s hard enough to withstand travel, as long as you put it in an envelope of clay (different quality, I assume, as the receiver will have to be able to break it away without damaging the letter). Basically they didn’t go through the trouble of cooking them for something ephemeral such as letter.
Inside Ea-Nasir’s oven and strewn around his house, they found several cooked complaint tablets. This led some to believe that Ea-Nasir collected and rejoiced in re-reading the complaints. Or maybe a disgruntled employee wanted to send hard proof to the BBB.
BBB?
Better Business Bureau, as per the joke in the title of this post.
I think the picture on the bottom shouldn’t match the look of her in the first picture, since the Ea Nasir picture most commonly used is of an unrelated person who happens to be mistaken as him by the internet
Oh no, Ea-nāṣir is hot!
Can’t wait for all the “Slutty Copper Merchant” Halloween costumes next year.
They use copper for things like forms?
They use forms about things like copper.
