Is this about copper again?
The tablet to Ea-nāṣir, right? That's from Ur (modern Iraq), and at least a century older, perhaps four.
(The tablet to Ea-nāṣir was dated from 1750 BCE. I'm not sure on the exact date of the tablet in the OP, but the site ranges from 1200 to 1650 BCE.)
It was in fact a joke. I do know they are entirely different and from different regions and cultures. I was just being humorous, which I guess doesn't go over well on this app.
