(This was apparently a cosplayer at DragonCon this year.)
I love the echos in culture of this one dude, who we all know, and the only reason we know of him is that he kept his own hate mail.
No idea who he is or what this is all about.
And we'll never know if his copper really was shitty.
Given the fact that they took the time to write a formal complaint in clay (something that's expensive to do in the ancient world), it's indeed likely that his copper was shitty:
"He sold low grade copper disguised as premium grade. He is a man of low repute, a copper dealer with questionable ethics, who cheats people out of their money."
Or you know, just imagine that review on Amazon with 1/5 stars and way more expletives.
"FIVE THOUSAND years from now, you will be a famous meme."
Gettouttahere! Fuggeddaboutit!I always wondered what the circumstances were that the tablets remained where they were. Was the house abandoned after he died? Did subsequent people who lived there just keep the tablets around for some reason?
I love it 🤣
Don't do it!!! That's bullshit ass copper!!
Damn straight! I cannot use that for copper tubing and it is so beat up it won't work for electrical work either!

He looks like the type that would treat you and your servants with contempt.
The circle tattoos on the calf / shin of the guy behind him are fascinating. I wonder what they mean.
They're reminiscent of Arrival, but it's been an age since I've seen that movie so I'm not sure.
I'll give you thirty talents of silver and five sheep for your eldest daughter.
Can someone explain the reference to me?
When you're a merchant so famous that people almost 4,000 years in the future and all over the world know about that one time you screwed over a lady so badly that she wrote you a strongly worded complaint.
