“Irimayašša is coming to you,”
..he has not come to me. As to the king’s having written to me,

“Guard yourself and guard the city of the king where you are,”
..who can guard me? Look, formerly my ancestors [were str]ong. There was war against the[m, but] a garrison [of the king] was wi(t)h them. There were provisions from the king at their disposal. [Though the war against me] is seve[re], I have [n]o [provision]s [from the king or gar]ri[son of the king]. Wh[at shall I] do? As for the mayors, [the]y are the ones who strik[e] our city. They are like dogs, and there is no one who wants to serve them. What am I, who live among ‘Apiru, —to do? If now there are no provisions from the king for me, my peasantry is going to fi[gh]t (against me). A[ll] lands are at war against me. If the desire of the king is to guard his city and his servant, send a garrison to guard the city. [I] will guard it while I am [a]live. When [I] die, who is going to [gu]ard it?” -EA 130, lines 1-52 (complete)

Paul Verhoeven’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Paul Verhoeven is a Dutch film director, screenwriter and producer who has a net worth of $20 million. The 75 year old, who was born in Amsterdam, started his filmmaking career while serving in the Dutch Naval, for whom he produced documentaries. He went on to make a series of films in the Netherlands, including Diary of a Hooker in 1971 and the uber-sexy Turkish Delight. He garnered international acclaim for Solider of Orange and The Fourth Wall in the 1980s, and subsequently moved to the United States. His first major box office hit was 1987’s Robocop, which he quickly followed up with Total Recall in 1990. While his films are sometimes criticized for their excessive violence, Verhoeven claims that he intends only to portray the violent aspects of human society. Perhaps Verhoeven’s most polarizing film is 1997’s campy Starship Troopers; a cult classic to some and a piece of junk to others. Like all of his films, it grabs you and won’t let go – perhaps the reason behind his enormous success.
