I wonder what he'd think if he knew that because he carved that, his name and the fact that he threw it over his head with one hand is still known 2,600 years later?
My guess is "cool" or maybe "nice".
Possibly even "sweet"...
"For real? Damn, I need to chisel my life story into all the rocks around here so they know all about the awesome Bybon, son of Phola!"
And then he turns out to be an asshole or something. Should have stuck with the single rock...
He might be, but his assholery would be remembered for all time! Kinda like Ea-Nasir and his shitty copper.
From all we know, this was his exact sense of humor. But than again, what do we really know about him
