Then i should have access to them ;-)

That's going to depend on what area you're looking at.

Ancient Egypt: German, French, and depending on the period the necessary ancient languages.

Ancient Greece: German, Ancient Greek, and a decent understanding of Latin

Rome: German, Ancient Greek, Latin.

Others you might not need anything other than English.

It's all about perspective. An 8 hour drive is close if you think about how far away Jupiter is.

Roughly a hair over 9,000 square feet, for us troglodytes in the US.

That could be sub-divided into four condos of 2200 sf each, add a solar panel farm and battery storage, and you could sell three of them and live in the fourth for free.

9,100 in case my fellow Americans are wondering why that price for 850 sq meters

They are listed. But not publicly.

I've been reading quite a few WWI books recently - but all on the shorter side and one was only 100 pages . Trying to make a dent in my unread WWI book pile. Reviews copied and pasted

They Shall Not Pass: The French Army on the Western Front 1914-1918 by Ian Sumner

>4.5/5 rounding down for goodreads.

>Overall very good, definitely worth a read if you are interested in WWI. Focuses a lot more on the personal accounts of soldiers, mainly accounts from the time (diaries, letters) not sources from after the war. There is a decent amount on combat but also on the day to day life in the trenches. There is some stuff about the thinking of the generals, to explain the logic behind the attacks, but this is secondary to the soldier's experiences. Because of the more personal, on the ground focus I thought it was accessible and that you don't need to know much about WWI to read this. It also isn't particularly long at 220 pages and 5 chapters - a chapter for each year which covers the main battles as well as a related broader topic like morale or discipline.

Douglas Haig: Defeat Into Victory by Gordon Corrigan

>3.5/5 rounding down for goodreads. I got it for £1 on a kindle deal and for that I'm happy with it.

>Very short, about 100 pages total. Enjoyable to read. Corrigan takes a VERY pro-Haig point of view, trying to defend Haig against his critics. His main argument is that Haig was a good leader but constrained by factors outside his control as Britain was the junior partner (on land) compared to the French. So the Somme campaign had to be fought to relieve Verdun and Passchendaele had to be fought to buy time for the French army to recover from the mutinies - and in the end these battles did more damage to the Germans than the British anyway. Corrigan also argues against the more personal criticisms of Haig, such as him not leading from close enough to the frontline or him not being interested in technology. I think he argues the case mostly well, although I happened to agree with this point of view before reading this, but he takes it a bit far in the other direction at times.

Just finished now Disputed Earth: Geology and Trench Warfare on the Western Front 1914-18 by Peter Doyle

>Charity shop find. Enjoyment 3/5 stars. Detail and info 4.5/5. Only read if you are very interested in the WWI Western Front. I'm quite into WWI and I still found it a bit of a struggle.

>It isn't that long at 230 pages plus another 50 for notes/sources. There are a lot of photographs, maps, diagrams - some from the time and some more recent and they tend to be pretty high quality (at least in the Uniform edition). There is plenty of info and lots of detail but it is rather dry to read and at times rather hard to read, but I don't know a lot about geology. There is a lot about how the different terrains (clay regions, chalky regions etc) responded to water (drainage, water levels. runoff etc) and how this affected the war, for things like mining, making dugouts and trenches, tanks etc. Even as a WWI nerd it started to get a bit repetitive reading about the different kinds of soil or clay and how wet it was.

I'm now doing a new thing of one kindle book, one physical book at the same time so I'm now reading The Zimmerman Telegram by Barbara Tuchman (Kindle) and I might start July 1914: Countdown to War by Sean McKeekin

Proper English grammar on "and pyramid of an unknown queen unearthed near King Tut's tomb" in says that either both the mummies and the pyramids are near Tut's tomb or the pyramid is near his tomb but not just the mummies. Phrases like that do not refer to only the first element of a list, its either all or the last.

So no the title still doesn't make sense if the mummies are near his tomb.

hmmm i currently only have 96 dollars in my bank account but I wonder if they'll let me use paypal credit and pay in 4 separate payments.

Europoor if I've ever seen one.

JK love u guys. We're poor over here too.

Yeah, but in 'buying format' i have selected 'all listings' so i assume it should appear (i dont have a 'classified add' type to select for some reason as i read in some help tutorial). And if I enter a direct url to the item (using the ID) i would also expect it to pop up and not say the item is not found. Can you see the item ? (not that i have a cool spare 1.6mil , but i am interested in looking at the pics)

If you read the article it says the pyramid is in Giza and the mummies are in the Valley of the Kings. It is pretty weird to have a single article about sites so far away from each other. The confusion in the title makes a little more sense then.

Edit: I was mistaken. For some reason I thought the title of the article was different than the post here. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

> The estate agents explained: “The bunker is generally in good condition, but needs to be cleared out due to items left by previous tenants."

Imagine that, someone who lived in a bunker was also a hoarder.

Can it really be secret if its listed for sale on the internet? S/

Insulation will be good but that is a huge volume to manage.

Are there any resources that detail life in East Berlin during the Cold War? From mundane activities such as children attending school to gangs, civilian perspectives and typical police/military routines.
