This image displays the Complaint Tablet to Ea-nāṣir, considered to be the oldest known written customer complaint.
This clay tablet, written in Akkadian cuneiform around 1750 BCE, was found in the ancient city of Ur (modern-day Iraq).
It details a complaint from a customer named Nanni to a merchant named Ea-nāṣir, concerning the delivery of substandard copper ingots and mistreatment of Nanni's servant.
The tablet offers a unique glimpse into ancient Mesopotamian trade practices and consumer grievances, demonstrating that customer complaints are a long-standing human phenomenon.

GOOD NEWS: America’s National Bird Thriving in the Buckeye State

Ohio can celebrate a milestone this Independence Day with 964 confirmed active bald eagle nests.

️ More than 1,800 reports from citizen scientists statewide helped complete the 2025 bald eagle nest census. Our staff followed up on these reports and confirmed nest locations in 87 of Ohio’s 88 counties.

️ Active nests were counted as those with an incubating eagle, eggs, or eaglets present. Given the high volume of nests, this nest census represents the most complete picture possible of Ohio’s breeding bald eagle population.
