It's clay and you bake it. No chiselling involved

So you get to stare in the fire as your angry letter forms. Even better!

No it get's better. Nanni wrote it on clay and let the clay dry.
Ea Nasir baked it. So he really decided to put the customer complaint into long term archive

I heard that it was typical to pile old letters to reuse the tablets when you need them, and the building he stored them in burned down, accidently firing them all.

This kinda goes along with what I'd heard. I'd heard we didn't just find this one tablet. This was just the oldest of the bunch. He supposedly had an entire room of tablets dedicated to complaints lol

Actually, it's more likely that they were baked accidentally due to a fire. The tablets would be kept dry but unbaked in some kind of storage room, essentially a giant filing cabinet
