About

The Big Site of History aims to provide accurate information about the History of Civilization.  With a focus on Western Civilization, the site traces the history of man from the first civilizations to modern times.

This site was set up many years ago with lots of very interesting and informative posts.  More recently the site was offered for sale and I decided to purchase it.   My background is not in history, having only done a little history study in primary school.  However, reading the posts on Big Site of History, got me interested to learn more about the history of mankind, and the events that have shaped our civilization.

I hope like me you will be encouraged to learn more about our history.  As we evolved from the early Empires of Hunter Gatherers, to our technological present day.  It has been a remarkable journey, and the story continues.

Please enjoy this site, both as a student of history, and also to better understand where we have come from as the human race.
