What a fun idea!

My brothers and sisters in Archaeology, please share with me your knowledge, I wish to know if Ea-Nasir was a lad who got framed or a villain who should be blamed.

Tell Ea-nasir: Nanni sends the following message:

When you came, you said to me as follows: ‘I will give Gimil-Sin (when he comes) that high grade.’ You left then but you did not do what you promised me. You put shake before my messenger (Sit-Sin) and said: ‘If you want to take it, take it; if you do not want to take it, go away!’

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! On account of that one (trifling) mina of silver which I owe(?) you, you feel free to speak in such a way, while I have given to the palace on your behalf 1,080 pounds of straight fire, and umi-abum has likewise given 1,080 pounds of that gas, apart from what we both have had written on a sealed tablet to be kept in the temple of Samas.

How have you treated me for that premium kush? You have withheld my money bag from me in enemy territory; it is now up to you to restore (my money) to me in full.

Take cognizance that (from now on) I will not accept here any flower from you that is not of fine quality. I shall (from now on) select and take the flower in my own yard, and I shall exercise against you my right of rejection because you have treated me with contempt.

And the degree of contempt !!

The Mesopotamia galleries of any museum always seem to be closed when I go…

Vocals & music by Farya Faraji. The text being sung is the Akkadian language complaint to Ea Nasir, or at least a part of it, now a massively popular entity that attained meme status on the Internet. Despite the admittedly comedic choice of text and video, the point of this video is to try and bring a little more awareness in the public sphere as to the known elements of Ancient Mesopotamian music.

Will this be the new “udreaaa”?

(Reposted because I misspelled his name)

Bonus points if the book is an instructions manual on producing quality copper.

I've been there a few times in my life, and this time when I got to visit London, my main reason to go there was to take a good look at this masterpiece and turns out they loaned it. I want my 0£ back.

Farya Faraji the man the myth the legend delivers again

Was reading the LA times and could think nothing less than the spirit of Ea Nasir striking again.
