For numerous museum visitors like me, the journey to the British Museum is incomplete without cherishing the historical marvel, the Ea-Nasir tablet concerning the delivery of a substandard grade of copper. Regrettably, too often we find ourselves disappointed when the tablet is removed for study, unexpectedly. Generations have cherished this essential part of our shared human history, and many travel from across the globe, only to face disappointment. 

The British Museum, being one of the most prestigious cultural institutions in the world, welcomed over 6 million people annually before the pandemic (according to The Guardian). It is essential that those keen to view specific exhibits, such as the Ea-Nasir tablet, can plan their trip confidently.

Therefore, we are requesting the British Museum to include a live status update on their website about whether the Ea-Nasir tablet is on display or has been temporarily removed for study. This modification in their online system is not just practical but also respectful to the global community of history enthusiasts, researchers, students, and travelers who visit the museum with the intent to observe this remarkable artifact.

Help us make history accessible and predictable. Sign this petition and join us in asking the British Museum to implement this necessary change.
