The Madain Project is a very unique resource of Abrahamic History & Archaeology; reaching more than half a million readers a month. Until February 2021 all the operational and management costs were being paid by the volunteers working on the project. But, the increase in the userbase and the overall costs of servers and other services and equipment that are needed to remain live forced us to look for other avenues of inflow.
We apologise about it.
We apologise for the inconvenience that ads bring to your reading experience; we're working on a membership model for the Madain Project which will provide you with an absolute ads-free reading.

The Madain Project, committed to fostering accuracy and authenticity in research and scholarship—including the publication of content on its own website—maintains an extensive library to support a wide range of academic endeavors. This collection includes a diverse array of physical books, as well as electronic books and resources that are integral to modern scholarship. In addition, the project holds subscriptions to prominent academic platforms such as JSTOR, Oxford University Press, and other leading publishers, providing access to a wealth of current and authoritative materials. Furthermore, the Madain Project actively contributes to the academic community through the publication of content on its own website, ensuring that its research and findings are both accessible and grounded in rigorous scholarly standards.
Media Library
The researchers and editors at the Madain Project have access to a wide array of academic databases and publishing platforms that provide peer-reviewed journals, monographs, critical editions, and archival content essential for scholarly inquiry. These resources cover diverse fields such as archaeology, theology, historiography, sacred texts, philology, and cultural heritage—particularly within the scope of Abrahamic traditions and ancient Near Eastern studies.
By leveraging these digital repositories, the Madain Project ensures that its content is grounded in the most current and credible academic discourse, allowing for accurate referencing, comparative analysis, and evidence-based interpretation.
