What won't ea-nasir fail to deliver!!

A Polish acquaintance went to British Museum specifically to see this tablet only to be cheated by Ea-nasir from beyond the grave

I hope there is an afterlife and Ea-nasir thinks this is very funny

If, as they say, “a man is not dead while his name is still spoken”, does the discovery and translation of Ea-Nasir’s tablets, and its subsequent meme status, constitute a sort of resurrection? Four thousand years later and suddenly you exist again because a bunch of weirdos find you relatable.

For that matter, most of the people you’re sharing the Mesopotamian afterlife with are great and terrible kings, priests etc, and here you are, a dodgy copper merchant.
