@besalatau: Ea-naṣir was a Bronze Age copper merchant who lived in the Mesopotamian city of Ur (in present-day Iraq) around 1750 BCE. He became famous not because he was a king or a warrior—but because he received what is widely considered the oldest surviving written customer complaint. The complaint was written on a clay tablet in cuneiform by a customer named Nanni. Nanni accused Ea-naṣir of: Selling poor-quality copper ingots instead of the promised high-quality copper. Treating his messenger rudely. Failing to honor their business agreement. One memorable part of the complaint says: “You put ingots which were not good before my messenger…” The tablet was discovered among many business records believed to have come from Ea-naṣir’s house in Ur. Interestingly, archaeologists found multiple complaint tablets, suggesting Nanni may not have been his only unhappy customer. كان إيّا-ناصر تاجر نحاس من العصر البرونزي عاش في مدينة أور ببلاد ما بين النهرين (في العراق الحالي) حوالي عام 1750 قبل الميلاد. واشتهر ليس لأنه كان ملكًا أو محاربًا، بل لأنه تلقى ما يُعتقد أنه أقدم شكوى مكتوبة من زبون في التاريخ. كُتبت الشكوى على لوح طيني بالخط المسماري على يد زبون يُدعى ناني. واتهم ناني إيّا-ناصر بـ: بيع سبائك نحاس رديئة الجودة بدلًا من النحاس عالي الجودة الذي وعد به. معاملة رسوله بفظاظة. عدم الالتزام بالاتفاق التجاري بينهما. وجاء في أحد أشهر مقاطع الشكوى: “لقد وضعت سبائك غير جيدة أمام رسولي…” عُثر على هذا اللوح بين العديد من السجلات التجارية التي يُعتقد أنها كانت في منزل إيّا-ناصر بمدينة أور. واللافت أن علماء الآثار اكتشفوا عدة ألواح أخرى تحمل شكاوى، مما يشير إلى أن ناني ربما لم يكن الزبون الوحيد غير الراضي عن تعامل إيّا-ناصر. #mesopotamia #eanasir #iraq #funny

If Ea-Nasir were alive today, his copper would be 99.99% pure, thanks to modern industrial refining techniques. However the copper would probably be sourced mainly from construction sites and EV charging stations at 3 in the morning.

Taking hours to grind a complaint into stone is like giving a ¢50 tip instead of no tip for poor service
