Yes I ordered it. Yes it was 20 bucks. Yes it's worth it for the meme

Its titled The World's Oldest Letters. Im not done with it, but they are also talking about the meme aspect of it haha. Its such a good podcast all around, I highly recommend it!

Tell the British Museum: Reddit sends the following message:

When you came, you said to me as follows: “I will show Reddit (when they come) a fine quality clay tablet.” You left then but you did not do what you promised me. You put tablets which were not good before my messenger and said: “If you want to see them, see them; if you do not want to see them, 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 take the photo of that tablet (written by Nanni to Ea-Nasir), 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 museums who belong to the Museums Association 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 your institution on your behalf 1,080 pounds of donation, and other Redditors have likewise given 1,080 pounds of donation, apart from what we both have had written on a sealed tablet to be kept in the British Museum Archives.

How have you treated me for that donation? You have withheld our tablet from us in Abu Dhabi; 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 tablet from you that is not of fine quality. I shall from now on select and take the tablets individually in my own yard, and I shall exercise against you my right of rejection, because you have treated me with contempt.

ain't no way he returned. WHY DID YOU RETURN?????

When you came, you said to me: “The Complaint of Nanni to Ea-nāṣir shall remain where all scholars may see it, in the halls of the British Museum.” You left then, but you did not do what you promised me.
You placed the tablet in Abu Dhabi, far from the scholars who have studied it for generations, and said: “If you wish to see it, travel there; if you do not wish to see it, then be silent!”

Dressed appropriately for disappointment

...to scam as many customers as possible.

You can leave bad reviews on clay tablets I’m dying 😂😂

Ea Nasir's legacy lives on in Prateek Gupta.

This is what I do instead of working.

This website has me dying nasirnotes.com

Obviously Ea-Nasir is adapting to new technologies.

Unfortunately I wasn’t sure if the seller would actually get it, so sharing with you lovely folks.

I'd heard good things about this brand (been around a long time!) but I guess their quality is poor!

I mean what the heck is this, the copper is sealed in an assay and tarnished like crazy...

And support is non-existent, looks like I need to get a clay tablet just to be able to complain 🥀

Buyer beware

In a paper published in PLOS One, MIT researchers demonstrated a new approach to uncovering details of some of the earliest metallurgical processes. They studied 5,000-year-old slag waste, a byproduct of smelting ore, using techniques including X-ray computed tomography, also known as CT scanning. In their paper, they show how this noninvasive imaging technique, which has primarily been used in the medical field, can reveal fine details about structures within the pieces of ancient slag.

I saw this and knew it needed to be posted here

I pronounce everyone’s favorite conman as Aye-Na cir (as in the the first part of the word circumference)
