Truly a relatable guy to just keep all of his bad review tablets at home so he could emotionally self-harm with them.
We could all learn a thing from Ea-nasir.
Part of the complaint was that he was rude to a slave who was made to travel really far to get a refund. Dude was so rude a SLAVE MASTER complained on behalf of his SLAVE, that's pretty fucking rude.
Did they practice chattel slavery?
Basically everyone did in the Bronze Age.
On the other hand, you had to do a lot of work to actually write stuff in clay tablets. He must've thought his complaint was worth the effort and/or expense
The fact the tablet was fired and not just dried means it was deemed to be important enough for keeping. Probably because the issue was predicted to be long and hard to solve, and it's not that weird considering that copper trade was important.
Yeah this was a pretty large delivery if I recall, he was wholesale not retail.
Were there not shitposters and scam artists in the bronze age world?
I mean... some say Ea-Nasir was a scam artist...
There were dogs who couldn't see a thing
Actually he kept several compaint letters, which as someone who has worked customer service I totally get.
First recorded victim of review bombing?
review bombing your house with clay bricks through the window (it's okay, glass hasn't been invented yet)
Your review hurt. No, really, it gave me a concussion.
Say what you will about him, 3500 years later we remember his name. Who complained to him? What did they do for a living? Who gives a fuck? Not Ea-Nasir the copper merchant, that's for sure.

Ea-Nasir made it into Total War Pharaoh Dynasties. There is even a hidden mechanic where he will cheat you in game during bartering.
Havent checked if you can play as Ea-Nasir but It should be easy doable via mods.
(Pharaoh Dynasties is my fave historical Total War since Attila btw)
Plus they put this cute little landmark as an other easter egg into the game.
