Ah, yes, the kingdom where they secretly reign, the land where they invisibly rule

Mesopotamia was so mid they put meso right in the name.

I take offense to this

Down voting because I'm not aware of anyone (who isn't trolling) criticizing Mesopotamia for really any reason. It's almost like arguing with yourself in the shower on a topic nobody asked about

That describes like 99% of my showers.

Yeah, but Romans gave us, ugh, super-imperialism!

Okay but like, who's actually out there criticizing the accomplishments of a region frequently referred to as "the cradle of civilization"? Give me names.

Writing? Why? I just shout at my underlings.

The wheel? My jet doesn't need wheels, probably.

Math? Useless. I don't pay taxes so what's the point?

Sailing? My yacht doesn't have sails.

Laws? They don't apply to me.

Seals? Okay they are cute little freaks.

You'd need a new jet after every landing. And also look for some very slippery surface everytime you want to take off withthat new jet. My advice would be to only use your yachts and have your underlings carry you over land.

My jet is a VTOL

Am I unaware some kind of mesopotamia related culture war?

They may have invented seals but the Egyptians perfected walruses

My subconscious read all the words before my conscious brain did, first thought when I scrolled past this image: wtf, seals were not invented. But then it remembered seals has multiple meanings.

Also tshirts that said, “Don’t mess with Mesopotamia”
