    This reminds me of the time someone posted some meme referencing Ea-Nasir in here, a scummy copper ingot merchant from mesopotamia. Makes me wonder if anybody knew these references because they’re actually so famous and I’m just uncultured, or if they only know them because some history nerd started making memes and they somehow caught on and now everyone learned them through some explanations in the comments like I just did.

      Ea-Nasir is very famous on the nerdy side of tumblr. Chrysippus too, to a lesser extent.

      I think those are simply tumblr leaks tbh.
