What do you take me for, that you treat somebody like me with such contempt? I have sent as messengers gentlemen like ourselves to collect the bag with my money (deposited with you) 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 merchants who trade with Telmun who has treated me in this way? You alone treat my messenger with contempt!

I dunno it’s only been like 4,000 years. I think that’s a pretty easy geological excavation to beat it back down some more.
I love this meme. It is as beautiful and enduring as the copper ingots I once received from the honorable Ea-nāṣir of Ur. Many blessings upon his house.
Not again, Ea-Nasir. You cannot keep getting away with thisi
Nanni tried to warn us but we didn’t listen.
