When and how did Germany lose air superiority on the Eastern Front (WWII)?

Realized I screwed up the last submission.

I haven't been able to find much written on the Eastern air war. From what I understand it wasn't really a strategic battle and was more about local air superiority. That said, when and why did the Russians get superiority over the Germans?

Listening to podcasts about Roman history, it's often mentioned that we don't know where X battle took place. If we located it, would we be likely to find weapons and armor under the surface?

Or were they all taken back to the victors place

Here is a question I asked in another thread which is relevant

What about campaigns when they were constantly on the move. Like Ceasar conquering gaul. It doesn't seem very practical to carry around lots of loot, and were there really a lot of people nearby in the dense forests?

The British monarchy's loss of real power. When and how did it occur?

I know it was a gradual process, but I'm really interested in knowing exactly how much actual power they had a various points in history. What were some of the turning points in the gradual transfer of power to Parliament? When was the last point at which a British King or Queen could have actually ruled Britain in a meaningful sense? Could Victoria have ruled, had she the ambition and desire to?

Why would the Romans have wanted to view themselves as the descendants of Trojans, the instigators and losers of the Trojan War?

Obviously the Romans were not actually descendants of the Trojans, but they believed they were. Did the Romans believe they were literally descended from Aeneas or did they accept it as a myth? Did any rival countries use the Roman's Trojan "lineage" to justify war with Rome? Did any Romans look negatively on their Trojan ancestors? Did the Romans ever invoke their Trojan lineage to justify wars or policies?

Why did the Little Entente Fall Apart?

The Little Entente seems to be one of those footnotes in history. The kind that almost became relevant, but in the end was shuffled away by the winds of time. What happened to it? Why did the French plan to keep a two front war on Germany fail? Was there any chance that the Little Entente could have actually been successful?

How much do we know about how the Pyramids were built?

I've heard people claim that ancient Egyptians simply didn't have the technological means to create something so large that has such exact measurements. We've all heard the claims about Alien intervention. Do we really know how they were built?

How was the Velvet Revolution able to remain peaceful, while other similar uprisings often turn violent?

I am not fully knowledgeable about other uprisings against Communist governments, but it seems the outcome often turns violent. Is there something people today can learn from how Czechoslovakia dealt with their frustrations and were able to agree on a resolution?

Did the Aztecs/Mexica ever sacrifice members of their own society i.e. non-captives.

I've heard here and elsewhere that the Mexica only sacrificed captives, yet i saw on wikipedia somewhere that for the festival of Tlaloc they would sacrifice the 2nd son of a nobleman or something. Does that mean one of their own noblemen? And the children that were sacrificed during that festival, were they captives too? Are there any rituals that necessitated that the sacrifice be from within the mexica population and not a captive?
