Ever wanted to know how to pronounce the name of our favorite Ur copper merchant, Ea-nāṣir? If you haven't looked it up, I can almost guarantee that you are saying it wrong, but fret not. I will share the secret with you (or at least the buest guess modern experts have).

The reconstruction of how to pronounce his name currently looks like this in the IPA:

[e.a.ˈnaː.t͡sʼiʁ]

If that looks daunting, keep reading.

i feel like tumblr will appreciate this

my favorite thing about this post is all the "ea nasir" in the tags. I cannot articulate how hilarious it is to me that there is a well populated "ea nasir" tag on tumblr. PLEASE imagine going back in time and telling a babylonian conman that thousands of years in the future he's going to be spoken about across the entire world using unfathomable technologies on account of how truly shitty his copper was

After Ea Nasir notoriously failed in the copper business, he went into computers under the name Ea Games, where he received even more angry letters of complaint than before.
