I’m writing the creation myth for my world building project; what are some good academic books that analyze the the meta-history of creation myths and why they are the way they are?

I am also interested in books that would explain how an average, medieval European man (let’s say a Norman soldier, aged 18) would understand history, Christianity, moral and political philosophy (and hypothetically for my writing purposes, how they would react to the future political ideas of liberalism, fascism, and communism. I know this is not a historical question and almost impossible to answer, but learning certain aspects in medieval political philosophy may help me come up with an answer other than the Norman being confused or thinking these future ideas are weird/stupid.)

Thank you!

Thousands of pages have been written on the population transfers that happened because of the creation of Greece, from the early 19th century up until the '20s. What about Armenia?

From the 19th century up until the breakup of the Soviet Union and Armenian independence, did we see a similar process whereby a multicultural, tribal, very parochial country was shaped into a homogeneous ethnostate such as Turkey or Greece? Were there any "losers" of Armenian independence, any ethnic minorities displaced to Georgia or Russia or Azerbaijan or Turkey?

Why did Hitler name the invasion of the Soviet Union Operation Barbarossa despite the fact that Barbarossa’s Crusade was a disaster?

Were there transportation accidents before the automobile was invented? Like a intoxicated guy crashed his horse into another one

How did ancient bakers get yeast?

hi need some help! this is theoretical, of course. but if an elector of saxony (holy roman empire) had children, say a female child, how would she be addressed? "lady blah"? "blah of saxony"? i know they're considered prince-electors, so were they technically princes? would that make their child a princes(s)? i see ernest (1441-1486) had a daughter who was titled "of saxony", but i just want to double-check here because wikipedia isn't always accurate. i guess then the question would be what was her rank? how did people speak to her? (Like how you might address a pope or king as "your grace")

Edit: I did more digging and they are considered princes, sort of, with the heir called the "electoral prince". They were referred to as serene highness. Unfortunately that still doesn't tell me if a daughter would be considered a princess and how someone might refer to her.

Edit 2: I also see one of Ernest's daughters is considered a "Saxon princess". I'm wondering if this is something where calling them a princess was right but they didn't hold an official title of one.

How did the practice of touring homes become a thing in England?

In one London newspaper, it was predicted that Sherman's Georgia campaign would end up with him as 'either a Xerxes or a Xenophon'. Do we know if his troops shouted 'Thalatta!' as they arrived at Savannah?

Why is it referred to as Latin and not Roman? (E.g. England > English; Spain > Spanish etc.)

In the second world war after Germany had invaded France and the French Resistance became a thing, how did people join the resistance? I only ask because it surely can't have been too obvious or the Gestapo would infiltrate it easily. But then how did people know how to join the resistance?

so how were soviet socialist military officers recruited if there is no 'upper class' to choose from? was it by merit or were certain aspects of rank truncated? Could you be conscripted as an officer?

In regards to the burning of Atlanta during the civil war, what is the estimated percentage and/or number of residential homes that were destroyed? The sources seem to vary widely. Not sure what to believe.

Was it true that Vikings would take shrooms before going into battle?

How was the 100 Year’s War viewed during the conflict? Was it viewed as one long, unitary conflict, or more like a series of related conflicts that only later was viewed as all one war?

Why can Canberra/the ACT never become a state but must instead remain as a territory?

Is this so that the federal government can control/override any decisions/laws of the region, or is it moreso out of a fear that the capital could become a very powerful and populous state. If the former, could there be a legal way for the ACT to become a state while also giving the commonwealth powers to override decisions of the state (e.g. have a vote in the lower house, ask the governor-general to intervene, etc)?

Im really confused, lets say the german army in WWII, did standard soldiers wear ear plugs, if no then what is there reaction going into battle while panzer or stug fires the main gun, wont there ear just go deaf for like hours, the panzer crews have headsets yes, and the guy who fire artillery cover their ears right before they fire, so how does the soldier react if he didnt know when a panzer would fire

Can anyone here recommend any good podcasts or audio books focusing either China's Three Kingdoms period (2nd to 3rd century ce) or the latter part of the Seven Kingdoms period (5th to 3rd century bce)? Specifically I'm looking for anything to do with the kingdom of Cao Wei or Qin Shi Huang.

How did the faculty of the Michigan Military Academy, and the students he was addressing, respond to General W.T. Sherman's famous "War is Hell" speech?

Wikipedia claims, the wings on the Bohemian earspoon are there to prevent over-penetration. Placed half a meter behind the tip, this seams to far in the back for me to make sense. Given which weapons evolved from that my practical guesses would be, that the wings are rather there, to bind and lift an opponents polearm in pike-against-pike battles or to hook and pull an opponents shield in pike-vs.-spear and shield.

Does anyone know, what they were primary and originally used for in battle?

Why is the Second Punic wars sometimes referred to as Hanibbalic War? Obviously because of Hannibal, but I mean to ask why would that name take preference.

How long have variations of the “Hedbanz” game been played and where did they originate? I saw a dinner table full of people playing it in a movie of Marie Antoinette’s life and I was wondering how accurate it is.

Why do some people write centuries as a Roman numeral instead of Arabic? I've seen a few contributors to this sub write XIV century instead of 14th century for example. Is this a cultural thing? As a Brit I've mostly always seen centuries written down in Arabic numerals and the Roman numerals look kinda out of place, a bit anachronistic even.
