It’s an immense pleasure to tell you that we’ve just surpassed a major milestone this month: We now have over 1,000,000 monthly unique visitors on Ancient History Encyclopedia! A million! Every month. Wow… mind blowing.

This is by far the biggest success we have ever celebrated here at the AHE team in our six-year history. This makes us without a doubt the world’s #1 ancient history website: We were already ranked the world’s 11th history website overall on July’s data where we only had 675,000 unique visitors, with no website specific to ancient history in front of us. Now there’s no possible doubt that we’re the #1 for ancient history!

When I launched AHE over six years ago, I had no idea we would ever reach such heights. It was just a little side project… Now it’s a non-profit organisation with 14 amazing team members (all very dedicated volunteers), countless contributors from all over the globe, members & donors who support us financially, and partnerships with many other reputable organisations. We’ve become kind of a big deal now, and we get more traffic than all but two of the world’s top 10 museums. I’m immensely proud of the amazing team we have, and I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together.

Literally millions of students, teachers, and history enthusiasts worldwide rely on us to learn about this amazing time period. Thank you all for your continued support. Whether you’re a reader, contributor, member, donor, or a part of the team: Without your help, none of this would have been possible! You all help us in our ongoing mission to publish the best ancient history information on the internet, for free.

Thank you all for making this success story happen!
