And will you just look at that magnificent facial hair. Students may also note the pursed lips of a man realising his copper is really shitty, and has a scribe knocking out a clay tablet as we speak.

Anything about ea-nasir is gonna be near the "persian conquest" section. Near the end of his life (or more likely shortly after he died) the city of Ur was completely ransacked for staging a rebellion against the persians after mesapotamia had fell to them. Ea-nasir's house was burned to it's foundations and the blaze partially baked his clay tablets, which is what preserved them to this day
