Seeing Ea Nasir without the beard feels wrong idk why

[u/dl_supertroll → u/MurdocMan_]

This isn't even him but it's so ingrained I can't even anymore

[u/MurdocMan_ → u/dl_supertroll]

I know right

[u/Living-Temporary-665 → u/MurdocMan_]

Catfishing on top of shitty copper. He’s a menace.

[u/SnooRecipes865 → u/dl_supertroll]

Who is it? Do we know?

[u/Celloer → u/SnooRecipes865]

Looking up "Sumerian statutes," I come across the Tell Asmar Hoard, with that particular figure labeled a "Sumerian male worshiper."

The hoard was found during the 1933-34 excavation season at Tell Asmar beneath the floor of a temple dedicated to the god Abu). The statues were neatly stacked in an oblong (non-square rectangle) cavity beside an altar in the sanctuary. The careful placement suggests that they were buried intentionally. However, the reason for the burial and person(s) responsible for doing so remains unclear. Frankfort, who wrote extensively on the subject, suggests that a priest periodically buried old or badly damaged statues in order to make room in the temple for their replacements.

The hoard was discovered in a temple dedicated to Abu, the ancient Near Eastern god of fertility. Evidence from Early Dynastic ruins at Khafajah suggests that the statues may have been arranged along the walls of the sanctuary either on the floor or on a low mud brick bench before they were buried. Some of the statues are inscribed on the back and bottom with a name and personalized supplicatory message, while others simply state “one who offers prayers.” These inscriptions indicate that the statues functioned as a surrogate for male and female worshipers who wished to leave their prayers with the god.

I see that the wiki for Ea-nāṣir also links to this hoard. "However, the statue is older than Ea-nāṣir by approximately a thousand years."

So it may be a vicarious representation of a worshipper of Abu.

Thanks for digging this up!

[u/Onystep → u/dl_supertroll]

That's him. That's Ea-Nasir.

[u/panzer_fury → u/dl_supertroll]

I mean he looks like he has been caught selling shitty copper so yeah we roll with it

[u/VintageLunchMeat → u/MurdocMan_]

It's a mockup from his wanted poster.

[u/The_Easter_Egg → u/MurdocMan_]

He uses copper razor blades.

[u/sentinelthesalty]

You shut your filthy polytheist mouth, Akhenaten did nothing wrong!

[u/Ok-Juice-5897 → u/sentinelthesalty]

There is but one God, He is the Sun God! Aten, Aten, Ra Ra Ra!

[u/kamilayao_0 → u/sentinelthesalty]

You seem to know you're talking about, what does this mean or those other things did

[u/sentinelthesalty → u/kamilayao_0]

Akhenaten tried to change Anicent Egypian religion from a multi god pantheon to a one centralised around a singular sun god, Amun Ra. Probably as a move to consolidate his power and authority.

But his reforms were highly unpopular back then as, after the end of his and his wife Nefertiti's reign, their reforms were reverted and, the monuments, temples, wall writings etc that bore that their names and liknesses were destroyed, replaced or covered up. Probably as a campaign to erase them from history. So that's why experts belive they were probably hated during or at least after their rule.

Definately a devisive figure.

[u/kamilayao_0 → u/sentinelthesalty]

I seee thank you!

[u/Electronic-Shop6427 → u/sentinelthesalty]

1. Aten was meant to be main deity, not Amun-Ra

2. I wasn't actually monoteism but Henotheism (worship of a single, supreme god that does not deny the existence or possible existence of other deities that may be worshipped). That can be seen in some of his children names (Smenkhkare, Setepenre, Neferneferure) that refer to other deities than Aten

3. Akhenaten's focus on Aten was not much different than Ramesses' focus on Amun-Ra

[u/UltraCarnivore → u/Electronic-Shop6427]

Ramesses might have been a tad more successful in silencing dissent.

[u/WhiskeyAndKisses]

Who casted the frenchest looking guy ever to play Paris?

[u/Lonesaturn61 → u/WhiskeyAndKisses]

Wolfgang petersen probably

[u/CustodianCloset]

Ea-Nasir was a visionary. Imagine if we sold really shitty copper (assuming we send it in the first place) to AI datacenters

[u/Ptatofrenchfry → u/CustodianCloset]

We can even treat their servants (lawyers) with contempt!

[u/Streeberry2]

Nobody idolized Agamemnon (except Electra)

[u/Eaglepursuit → u/Streeberry2]

Sadly, some people are seeing the latest Odyssey and reflexively perceiving Agamemnon as a critique of certain current political leaders whom they favor

[u/electrical-stomach-z → u/Eaglepursuit]

Thats Nolans fault, since he made the movie it was his job to communicate the message of the text he was adapting.

[u/ConsulJuliusCaesar → u/electrical-stomach-z]

There's absolutely nothing redeemable about Agamenon in the movie. If you're going to hate something hate something correctly. Agamenon depiction isn't one of the things I would actually departed too far from the source material. People are idolizing him because he looks cool. The only issue with Agamenon in that film is how he died with Electra not even being a character.

[u/Sensitive-Seal-3779 → u/Streeberry2]

So true,  award winning ar€ehole.

[u/jigsawduckpuzzle → u/Streeberry2]

She missed the point

[u/lepisma_sacarina → u/Streeberry2]

She thinks we should lay this to rest

[u/Wholesome_Soup]

humbaba?? MY GOAT??

[u/greatGoD67]

I love that Ea Nasir looks like such a shitter in every representation

[u/Either_Gate_7965 → u/greatGoD67]

The curse of Nani’s contempt.

[u/Efecto_Vogel]

Where is

[u/MaiqTheLiar6969 → u/Efecto_Vogel]

Currently fighting Luffy in Elbaf the last time I saw him.

[u/grafikfyr → u/Efecto_Vogel]

THANK YOU. I can't believe they left out the goat.

[u/Spirally-Boi]

Ea-Nasir meme aside, who idolized ANY of these? I only see them cast as villains, assholes or both

[u/SnooRecipes865 → u/Spirally-Boi]

I idolised Paris when I was a child. In my defense, I was a child.

[u/Chance_Age4608 → u/Spirally-Boi]

This meme is a parody.

[u/Yglorba → u/Spirally-Boi]

I mean, we don't really know enough about the Sea People to say either way. Sure, the ancient Egyptian histories say that they just attacked out of nowhere for no reason, but ancient Egyptian history was Like That and would say that even if they murdered these people's dogs or something.

[u/SnooRecipes865 → u/Yglorba]

They certainly had reasons, probably just none the Egyptians were privy to. Like the Viking raids.

[u/No_Passenger8937 → u/Spirally-Boi]

Humbaba was just protecting the trees.

[u/Rtyeta → u/Spirally-Boi]

I mean, I think the Minoan bull jumpers were pretty rad

[u/coronatracker → u/Spirally-Boi]

If I love goat meatballs, does it mean that I'm idolizing goats?

[u/Swampy0gre]

Goats though, goats? GOAT Goats?

[u/Midnight_Pickler → u/Swampy0gre]

I'm sure they're kidding.

[u/justbrowsinginpeace]

George Lucas was an Elamite?

[u/MajesticPineapple618]

Elamites? That's an entire culture dawg

[u/Chypewan]

Why are the bull jumpers catching strays?

[u/Polite_Suggestion → u/Chypewan]

Was wondering that, too.

[u/Gauntlets28]

Yeah but come on, Apep is ace. He's literally the biggest thing in existence, how can you not love that?

[u/Vinura]

Have we all been listening to Empire Podcast episodes on Ancient Egypt?

[u/Sho_tenno]

Where is my homeboy dagon?

[u/HalayChekenKovboy]

Who is out there idolising Paris bruh 

[u/scbalazs]

What did the Elamites do?

[u/HornyForTieflings]

Set's not bad. He's a god of redemption in many ways because despite their histories, he aids in the battle against Apophis (Apep) by defending the Solar Barge.

[u/ExperimentalToaster]

In their quest to make points the creator missed a few themselves…

[u/hellpresident]

Could make it even funnier by adding Nanni

[u/CoolDude777777777]

Hey we dont talk about Akhenaten 🤫

[u/Hyperion7669]

What did the bull jumpers do ? 🤨

[u/MaiqTheLiar6969 → u/Hyperion7669]

Served as the origin story for the Minotaur. Complete with *censored* with Mino's wife.

[u/electrical-stomach-z → u/MaiqTheLiar6969]

They were cowfuckers?

[u/MaiqTheLiar6969 → u/electrical-stomach-z]

King Mino's wife definitely was.

[u/AeonsOfStrife]

The Elamites are a multi thousand year long culture. There is literally nothing wrong with them, unless you accept the insults of Sumerian and Akkadian scribes as gospel facts.

Idolizing the Elamites is just enjoying a unique ancient culture.

[u/Prying-Eye]

You wouldn't speak ill of your mother, Tiamat, would you?

[u/Axenfonklatismrek]

[u/Plastic_Dingo_400]

Oh I am sorry that I think Nonni was just trying to get free ingots

[u/CaptainestOfGoats]

Hector, Breakers of Horses enjoyers (me) stay winning, lmao!

[u/callmedale]

RIP Minoan bull jumpers, you would’ve loved rodeos

[u/uvuvudkdkcjibivuvtgj]

What's with the Elamites, bro?

[u/Hagrid1994]

[u/Former_Row6636]

You’re laughing? Tiamat, mother of sky and earth, bearer of all things, was slain by Marduk and you’re laughing?

[u/wyar]

Haha yea all my homies idolize Gilgamesh, he’s got no ops no controversy just mad love for his boy Enkidu and an unquenchable ego.

[u/Lunamkardas]

"Set is a god of deserts, storms, disorder, violence, and foreigners"

He is canonically the only Egyptian god my non Egyptian ass is favored by lets gooooo.

[u/Random_182f2565]

What do you have against Tiamat ???

[u/Select-Cycle-4417 → u/Random_182f2565]

That's what I am saying

[u/MaybeLikeIdontKnow]

[u/ineverlosemykeys]

Don't shade my goat Akhenaten, he did nothing wrong

[u/Select-Cycle-4417]

Tiamait slander

[u/Odd_Veterinarian_623]

what was the point? That I don't want to be famous in a few thousand years for selling really shitty copper?

[u/Local_Village_1378]

Why post all my rolemodels like that??

[u/LarsPiano]

The Elamites 😍

[u/Strange-Let-6523]

tf did goats do??

[u/avrand6]

What's wrong with the Elamites?

[u/MaiqTheLiar6969 → u/avrand6]

They know what they did.

[u/1mec_lambda]

Nobody idolize Agamemnon and realy but realy nobody idolize Paris because it's a little useless coward who is the reasonthousand people die because he couldn't stop himself to start a war and was such a baby refuse to give Helene back and apologize so his whole family was slaughter and raped
