einlander , in Kids today are so lazy. They don't know how to do anything for themselves. They just spend all day looking at their tablets. And cylinders.

Eat hot chip and lie.

Name one good thing about Nineveh that doesn't revolve around pleasing Inanna.

Inanna, Inanna, Inanna. That's all you hear all day at Nineveh.

FlyingSquid OP Mod ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It's inscribed right there on the stone. Can you not read Babylonian Cuneiform? Are you some sort of Elamite Barbarian?

I come from Sur-Marrati. We only speak Assyrian in these parts. Hence my confusion.

The Sea Peoples are a myth. The Bronze Age will never end.
