i just learned about this brick, made under Nebuchadnezzar II. Thousands of bricks were stamped with his name and title, to emphasize that he had made what they were building.
But on one, a worker who was actually making the bricks, added their own name: Zabina’

@exiliaex oh that is very cool.
@exiliaex @lunacottonwood oh wow, proletarian brick! 0:
@exiliaex More interesting is the brick was stamped in Babylonian cuneiform but the name of the brickmaker is written in Aramaic.
