This is a bit of a weird request but it is quite often difficult to find these kinds of resources if you either do not know where they were published, they were not widely circulated within their field or they were not published in any journals.

To specify, I am looking for any sites, journals and so on that can be used to look up archeological findings from Egypt/Sudan and published in the 19th to early 20th century. Photographs, illustrations, models, articles, translations and the like.

University sites usually have these but I was wondering if there was something a bit more comprehensive or any recommendations anyone might have on where to look.

In the Middle Ages, for example, giving money to "the poor" (whether that meant the actual poor, or the so-called 'spiritually poor'/religious communities) had a lot to do with personal benefit--helping secure easier passage through purgatory through penance for sins. Plenty of that persists today (including within humanitarian efforts!), but there is also a sense of "giving for the good of the world", anonymous donations, etc. Where does that sense of 'all humans in it together' come from?

Also, were the religious practices of the groups on Florida's East Coast even related?

Every now and then it's pointed that there was a "green" tendenancy in Nazi ideology. Often I hear this in partisan contexts as attempts to discredit or smear advocates of contemporary environmental protection policies. More recently, I encountered Timothy Snyder's book Black Earth, which argues that Hitler's obsession with carving out territory in Eastern Europe, lebensraum, was underpinned by anxieties in Germany regarding diminishing natural resources and agricultural productivity. Snyder's argument would suggest that an ecological panic was a major contributing factor to the Second World War and the Holocaust. I'm curious to know what r/askhistorians makes of this specific claim.

I'm also curious, however, about the extent and importance of "green" or "environmentalist" strains in Nazi thought and policies, though I appreciate that applying these exact terms here is an anachronism. Was an appreciation for nature more of an ancilary concern for the Nazis, something coincident with the much broader lineage of nature worship in German Romanticism? Or was it intrinsic to the rest of the Nazi worldview?

And finally, one last question, to what extant were any environmental policies actually enacted by the regime? I know there were plans to "Teutonize" landscapes in territory incorporated by the Reich by introducing select species of plants and animals native to Germany (though this is actually the opposite of what ecological wisdom would encourage). Were these ever implemented? Likewise, were there any efforts to establish any agencies or programs akin to the American E.P.A., i.e., programs charged with things like pollution restrictions, land use regulations, et cetera?

I was talking to a friend about great empires and their impact on our societies today and he said that the Ottomans have not contirbuted in any way. That can't be right. Please help me out Historians of Reddit :)

How has the perception of history overshadowed actual historical events? For example, Benjamin Franklin flying a kite with a key to “discover electricity” might be a small scale example. Or people “knowing” history from Shakespeare or movies.

What scholarship exists on the perception of history?

Finally, what do you think the impact of collective memory or public opinion is on the historical record/how history is presented? (For example the cancellation of the Enola Gay exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum.)

Watching football yesterday, I realized some of the injuries we see today must have happened a few hundred years ago as well. But, what would your life be like if this type of now 'common' injury were to occur a few hundred years ago.

(Just recently surpassed by 'hispanic')

My only guess is that this was one of Sulla's reforms. Is that true?

Both the design and the manufacturing. I assume manufacturing went away much before design, but design is slowly going too.

And what was the reason behind it? If it's the price, why didn't they do it earlier? I know most Westerners were also quite poor by today's standards in the older times, but I can't imagine them being poorer than the people of countries where the current jobs went away. Logistics and infrastructure can of course be a problem if you think about outsourcing to India in 1930, but Mexico for example, was quite feasible.

What was life like in regions like soon-to-be-sumeria and soon-to-be-egypt before they were considered civilizations ? And at what point were loose groups of small towns with a similar cultural background no longer seen as that, but as a civilization. Were the people living at that time aware of that change ?

eg, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Luxembourg

This question might be a bit too general, so the specific time period I am looking at is medieval and post medieval Europe. Did siege weapons, such as the catapult and trebuchet change the winning strategy in any manner?

Are parallels such as Donnar - Thor and Wotan - Odin mythologically equal or is there simply a dominant linguistic connection?

I read that Muslim populations throughout the middle east in the beginning of the 20th century weren't as religious and extreme as they are today or even 20 years ago. What changes are largely responsible for the radicalization of the Muslim population in the ME in the 20th century?

I have only seen Cattulus mentioned as a source for the teeth cleaning part, but generally, is there enough in the sources to establish a picture of what Romans' relationship with their bodily waste was when it came to practical usage? Was urine the best way to get ammonia?

This has always been a point of mixed amazement and befuddlement for me (a layman) when discussing what I've read with my friends who have advanced degrees in history (or some such similar subject). They'll often comment that a book was "well-researched" or has "terrible scholarship" or a similar remark.

I've never wholly understood how they reach these conclusions and I'd like to know how one does this so I can start making these investigations and assessments myself.
