Copper
Ancient copper history & the modern merchant’s treasury — inspired by the world’s most famous bad merchant
Around 1750 BCE, in the ancient city of Ur, a copper merchant named Ea-Nasir received what is now the world’s oldest known written consumer complaint. A clay tablet, pressed in cuneiform by a furious customer named Nanni, accused him of delivering inferior copper and treating his messenger with contempt.
The tablet survived. Ea-Nasir’s copper did not. His city is dust. His civilisation is a footnote. But his reputation for poor-quality deliveries has outlasted nearly four thousand years — making him the patron saint of bad merchants everywhere, and the unlikely inspiration for this archive of the ancient copper trade.
This manuscript contains two things: genuine history of the ancient copper trade — Ea-Nasir, the Bronze Age, the Phoenician network, the routes that moved metal from Oman to Mesopotamia — and the modern treasury of Chimera Costumes, whose content represents the merchant’s prized goods for the contemporary era.
The ancient merchants saw no separation between education and commerce. Neither do we.
Where Ea-Nasir traded copper ingots along the Persian Gulf trade routes, we trade in content — cosplay, corsets, and adult material produced by Heidi Lange, the creator known as Chimera Costumes.
Unlike Ea-Nasir, the quality is genuine. What is represented is what is delivered. Nanni could not give this endorsement; we can.
