   Everybody knows the Ea-Nasir facts, only people who took anthropology classes know the interesting conjecture:

   Fact: most sumerian clay tablets were not baked/fired, they were usually recycled and the clay reused.

   Fact: the Ea-Nasir complaint tablets were found, baked, in the ruins of a house.

   Therefore we might assume that Ea-Nasir kept his unbaked complaint tablets in his house and somebody burned his house down.
