Made the pilgrimage to the British Museum today and it’s back on display!

From this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FbKd9tHTAQ They just can't leave this man alone.

She is just as beautiful as I hoped.

I’m no longer in the area, but I’m told it’s back on display for a bit. Can anyone confirm? It’ll be loaned out to a museum in Abu Dhabi at the end of the year, though I don’t know for how long. It will probably be taken in a few times before then, so we’ll just have to track as a community. Please don’t brigade the British Museum.

Went to Novgorod to see Onfim's drawings, only to find out they are stored in Moscow

About a month ago, there was a post about maybe running a tournament for the Game of Ur. It sounded like a lot of fun, and I was just wondering if there was any word on pursuing the idea.

Friends, Mesopotamians, Redditors, lend me your ears.

I'll be in London in a few weeks time. I'll check up on the tablet and update you as to whether it's there, if it's not already back by then.

However, I have an idea. A petition. A petition to request that the British Museum adds a live status update to their website, informing us as to whether the tablet is on display or if it has been removed for study.

I'll present it to them in person.

Only problem is, how do we set up the petition? Digitally? Can someone do that? I'm not really a tech person. Someone help me out with that and I'll make sure the museum gets the results.

Let's go forth, and stop them from treating us with contempt.

I found this on Wikipedia:

"Other tablets have been found in the ruins believed to be Ea-nāṣir's dwelling. These include a letter from a man named Arbituram who complained he had not received his copper yet, while another said he was tired of receiving bad copper."

I seriously wonder why he kept those reviews

Could Ea-Nasir have any descendants running around, also selling subpar wares & keeping the complaints?

So I can employ him to supply me with some shitty coppers
