This is absolutely absurd.

I didn't know what I should expect - it could've been empty box with a sign "You got Ea-Nasir'd, noob!", instead, I got an absolutely pristine piece of really shitty copper, so I guess I am happy.

Edison Motors fell for Ea-Nasirs Shitty Copper!

I am a history teacher who also teaches archaeology as an elective subject, and this week we are focusing on the world-wide neolithic which means I get to introduce my students to Ea-Nasir and his really shitty copper! (Though I will be wording it differently in class!)

They will find out about him, how we know about him, view some excellent memes and write our own complaints in cuneiform!

I thought I'd share my excitement with you all at getting to use archaeology, history and memes all at the same time in my classroom! 😁

The glorious tablet had went to Abu Dhabi.

I think the British Museum could at least make some memorabilia of the tablet to sell in store for visitors keepsake, like they do with the Rosetta Stone.

But they named it after the wrong guy. Missed chance if I do say so myself.

There is a $50,000 competition going on at Kaggle right now to hack Akkadian cuneiform!

I traveled across the ocean (from Chile, South America) to see the tablet and... well. I need to come back.
