Nearly 4,000 years ago, how did customers complain about the service?

An artifact believed to be a complaint from the oldest human client, revealed many surprises.

The complaint from the oldest customer, dating to 3,800 years old, was found in Ur, an important Sumerian city in ancient Mesopotamia - now the city of Tell ek-Muqayyar, in Dhi Qar province (Iraq).

In a clay tablet, a man named Nanni complained to the merchant named Eairir about his wrong delivery of copper ore.'How did you give me that copper ore,' wrote Nanni. 'He seized my pocket on enemy territory; now you have to pay me all back. '

The message was written in Akkadian , an East Semit language that was extinct and used in ancient Mesopotamia, from the 30th century BC until it ended. It is currently being kept at the British Museum in London.

Earlier in the week, images of the board were posted on Reddit and immediately received much attention with more than 64.00 likes and over 1,000 comments.

According to the translation of the complaint, it seems that Nanni has been tricked into selling Ea-nasir. Very angry at the way Ea-nasir treated him, Nanni threatened next time not to deal with Eairir.

'What do you consider me to dare to treat someone like me so cheaply? . Is there any of the merchants who traded with Telmun dare to treat me this way? He also treated my messenger scornfully .

Remember that from now on I will not accept any copper boxes that do not have good quality from you . '.

It is still clear whether Nanni's complaint was finally resolved. Perhaps it will forever be a mystery without solution until mankind can create a time machine that goes back to the past.
