Context: Meet Ea-Nasir, a Babylonian architect, priest and writer who lived about 1750 BC. He’s still famous today because of a clay tablet where a customer named Nanni ranted about the bad copper Ea-Nasir sold him. That’s the original ancient review bomb. The meme’s joke is that after 5000 years he’s remembered as a scammer and, for some reason, “horniness.” Take that, Ea-Nasir.
I don’t think this meme is implying that Ea-Nasir is associated with horniness. The picture is Imhotep from The Mummy. The historical Imhotep was, like Ea-Nasir, an architect, writer, etc, but because his name is used as the villain in The Mummy films and his motivation is resurrecting his love, he is also associated with horniness and not shitty copper.

So my first question is: did ai write this? Since it’s hallucinating an explanation that’s obviously incorrect to anyone familiar with the subject.
My next question is who’s into ea-nasir enough to upvote this, but not enough to know the main thing about him?
why do you think its incorrect? en.wikipedia.org/…/Complaint_tablet_to_Ea-nāṣir
it’s a pretty famous case that as an amateur Ive heard a lot.
am I egyptologist or a professional historian - I am certainly not.
oh Isee what you mean. yeah looks like AI hallucinated part of it. corrected. this was a test - you passed
