comment Did Heisenberg undermine the German atomic bomb by deliberately hiding his expertise from the Nazis?
@Anixx - be careful - Tom Au did not say that he "wanted to be ethical"; you may have your own opinion on this but you're falsely putting words into Tom Au's mouth here.

comment Are “I, II, III, …” versions of archaeological versioning of layers unique to Troy?
Is it standard? Don't know. It it unique to Troy? No way - Uruk at least uses it too: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruk#Historic_periods_of_Uruk

comment Muslim population in Islamic Iberia
Córdoba was at one time the largest city in Europe, possibly the world, (whatcordoba.com/history-cordoba.html, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%B3rdoba,_Andalusia) and had the largest mosque in the west. I've no definitive figures (so comment rather than answer) but the population must have been quite significant.

We're actually still in an ice age; just a nice interglacial part of one, but still an ice age nonetheless.
