>>18109280He was really lazy and enjoyed pumping himself up. He never once actually went on campaign, his excuse to not go to join the campaign to Elam was that he said the goddess Ishtar said he should be eating dates n shit instead. He also thought of himself as an intellectual and a great sage and scribe but from what we know he was pretty mediocre with his greatest work of scholarship being a compilation of actual intellectuals and what they wrote.

>>18109280>run a stable prospering civilization >eran_njeets, steppejeets, and churkjeets raid your shit out of seething envy>find out where they sleep and rape them into extinction>enjoy prosperity for a little while before more of these undesirables start moving inhe did nothing wrong.
He was the king of the universe
