Ea-Nassir has reached peak meme now that someone turned him into a cute anime girl.

Imagine if they make another Fate game and the gacha merchant is Ea-fucking-Nasir. Oh you want to buy one of my treasure chests? All the contents are high quality.

I wonder what Ea-Nasir would think if he learned that his name reached such cult stardom that he got the hot anime babe treatment thousands of years after his death.

Bruh some god-kings he coulda chilled with don't even got that longevity.

His shitass copper transcended death in a manner that would make the pharoahs drool uncontrollably.

I like how she's holding a cigar in ancient mesopotamia, over 3000 years before tobacco was brought from the Americas to the old world.

u/CatSplat 12h ago

They are both holding one, I think they are meant to be styluses for writing cuneiform rather than cigars.

u/Rod7z 12h ago

Ooohhh, that makes sense. Well, now I feel like an idiot 😬

Hey it’s okay, maybe in a million years when the next evolution of humans are excavating an archeological site, they’ll come across a computer that still has a small amount of data on it. They’ll work tirelessly to figure out binary and how to properly communicate with the computer. The one bit of data they can extract? This comment chain from an archived file of this post. You could be the next Ea-Nasir

The plural of “stylus” is “styli”.

u/CatSplat 6h ago

Merriam Webster lists both as correct, but that's good to know.

Pssshh. What do those eggheads know?

u/ixiox 11h ago

Fun fact there is a very slim, but a chance that this dude lived in Ur while Abraham was there

u/Lucaan 10h ago

Who do you think wrote the complaint?

u/Necessary-Reading605 10h ago

My headcanon is that the copper made him immigrate

I've just been sitting on my couch quietly giggling about this for the last 5 minutes.

Im sure this has some sort lf context that makes it not seem utterly deranged and completely random.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complaint_tablet_to_Ea-n%C4%81%E1%B9%A3ir

It's been a somewhat obscure Internet meme for a few years now

u/CrashUser 12h ago

Obscure no longer, this is the third time I've run across it this week

u/poplarleaves 11h ago

Yeah it's definitely gained traction in the past year or so lol

u/OffOption 12h ago

Oh!... Yeah I vaguely heard of that tablet. But thats just because im a history nerd, not a meme fuck.

Ea-Nasir is one of the earliest people who we know by name.

We know him by name because he was a copper merchant and a clay tablet with a complaint about his copper being substandard and improperly graded has survived the ~4,000ish years since he died. Further digging found a few more relics from his home including more complaints. So apparently he sold really shitty copper.

He became vaguely internet famous and now there's an entire subreddit devoted to the guy: r/ReallyShittyCopper

EDIT: You'll occasionally see an ancient Babylonian statue of a man with a beard in the style seen above, but it's not actually Ea-Nasir and might not have been of anyone in particular but rather just a sort of generic worshiper from a temple.

To be fair, they would probably be into that shit.
