Question 1

How do I start exploring history?

Accepted Answer

From the home page, choose an epoch to begin. Use the timeline to browse events and the map to see locations.

Question 2

Is any content behind a paywall?

Accepted Answer

Hardly any. Every map, timeline, article, battle story and biography is free, and stays free. A few sections, such as the quiz and the leaderboard, only need a free account. If you support the work you get the supporter mark on the leaderboard and you help fund the new epochs, seeing them first once they are ready. The audio narrations are the one exception: monthly and yearly supporters hear them in full, two chapters from the Jahiliyya are free for everyone, and everyone can hear a 45-second preview of every other chapter. Anyone who supported before the audio went online keeps that full access for good.

Question 3

Are there audio narrations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Some of the chapters have already been recorded, not yet in every language, and more are added all the time. You will find the audio with the articles, on the people pages and on the Listen page, where every era is a series of chapters. Two chapters from the Jahiliyya are free to hear in full for everyone, and everyone can hear a free 45-second preview of every other chapter. Monthly and yearly supporters hear everything in full, and anyone who supported before the audio went online keeps that access for good.
