Say, for example, how long does it take you to analyze 10 pages for a book review? I feel like it takes me way too long to take everything- credible sources, how the author supports their case, biases, write notes down on the info, etc-into account. For me, 10 pages could take maybe an hour or so. Also, are there tips to make it go quicker?

I'm sure that government/military vessels would use their own language but I'm not so sure about merchant/passenger ships? What with mayday being the accepted spelling of m'aidez etc.

Hi, I'm planning on collecting information on the cold war. Since there are loads of different books I hope you could recommend me two books which explain the following questions: Role of Germany in the cold war The cold war in europe in general Also It would be great if the books are available in german. Thanks for any help!

I'm sorry if this question is unclear, just having trouble wording it.

I was reading about the fall of Western Rome and according to the article I was reading it said many of the conquering barbarians had actually adopted Arianism versus Nicenean Christianity. Why that particular branch?

As an American, the closest I've ever heard to this happening was the Challenger explosion, and that was still in Earth's atmosphere. Has any of the world's space programs lost a astronaut and what were the circumstances that last up to that?

I've got no idea how to go about wording this but I'm going to give it a shot. Why would someone be a Christian during the 3rd century? I don't mean that in a bad way, and I'm a Christian myself so I'm really not trying to bash it but I'm curious why someone would convert from worshipping to Zeus or whatever to praying to a God, and his martyr so who was just killed a short time before. Answers can be anecdotal or whatever but everything is welcome, thanks!

Always curious. The "deep south" plantation-owner (think Colonel Sanders) always sounded to me like it was a twist on the English accent.

I am wondering if the gyptians deliberatly kept secret the way they carved, transported the building blocks and the process of pyramid building?

Specifically, why the isolation for the fascist regime of Franco after the war, but not for the Estado Novo?

Sorry if this seems insensitive or malicious, that wasn't the intent.

I would like to know why and how Europe/whites became so much more advanced than Africa even though one of the first major eras(?), the Egyptians, came from it.

I always wondered what the world would be like if it happened the other way round.

Sorry if this question has been asked before, I didnt find it

We watched a short film in English class today going over whether Shakespeare was a real person, or simply an alias, most notably, one used by Christopher Marlowe. I was just too curious to end it at that. Has there been any new evidence towards these claims?

Both in the short and long term.

It seems like practically nothing went right for the Allies. Why?

Recently watched "Exodus - Gods & Kings" and I started to question lots of things (not from religious perspective). I did my research and i am not satisfied with whatever i found, so probably you guys can lead me to right direction or answer the questions ?

1. What was the Timeline of Moses ? Was it 1200 B.C or something else ?
2. Based on the above question, Who was the pharoah at the time of Moses ?
3. Are there any historical (archaeological) proofs about the Red Sea partition (I read it on quora during the research that it wasn't the red sea, it was perhaps one of the lake which has dried up now ? But regardless are there any proofs ?)
4. I have seen lots of muslims sharing a pharoah's (Rameses II) mummy which (as per the post they shared) is the one found from the bed of the Nile and they quote a verse from the quran which says that we (God) has mummified the pharoah for later generations. But I couldn't find any reference in any of archaeology journals that if a mummy was ever found in Nile or anywhere ? Moreover, Rameses II was actually died of natural causes (as per wikipedia).

Please don't make this post a religious post, All the questions that i am asking are from historical/archaeological point of you.
