Question for M :)

Forgiveness from Rabbi Michi… This is simply the only way I know to contact M, who, as I have the impression, is knowledgeable in subjects such as the Bible, archaeology, and history of the ancient world.
Well, in the last two years, I have been stirred by the desire to edit and organize within myself the picture of the history of human society in general and of our people in particular – not an easy task at all, of course.
And I wanted to ask:
1. Can you recommend sources (books/people) that will make it easier for me to gather this enormous amount of information, or at least some of it? Of course, I use the Internet (Wikipedia mainly) and read books (a few) that cover a certain period of time on this long timeline, but I feel like I'm really having a hard time grouping the pieces of information into a clear and comprehensive picture, since I'm both the learner and the editor of this whole story.
2. I am currently reading the book "Bina Ha'it" by Rabbi Ze'ev Sultanovitz (Rabbi Bracha). Do you know it? What do you think of it?
It is admittedly a more historiosophical book, but I would still like to know what you think of the work done there?
3. I also purchased the book "The Bible as History" by Werner Keller, scientifically edited by David Zakai and Yosef Breslby. Do you know it?
So what is your opinion on him and/or those mentioned in the article? Can we trust the information and the form of explanation and interpretation presented there by them?
Many thanks – Yehuda
(Of course, if other members know how to answer these questions, I would be very happy to hear them :))
