Open a few panels across a table, or stretch the whole chart out when you have the room: about 23 feet, one century after another.

Inside the chart

Bible and world history, running side by side

Each nation runs as its own colored stream, century by century, so you can see who was living, ruling and building at the same time.

ON THE CHART

Adam and Methuselah

The first lifelines run side by side: Adam 930 years, Seth, Enos, Cainan, and Methuselah, with the line printed beside him: “talked with Adam 243 years.”

“Like we've got Methuselah starting here, which is very interesting because he started the same time as Adam, right? So he was alive during the time of Adam.”

The Sphinx and the Great Pyramid

Engravings of the Great Sphinx and the Great Pyramid near Gizeh, printed beside Egypt's kings Apophis and Amenophis I.

“So the great Sphinx, right? That was standing at the same time of Jacob and Isaac in the Bible and the great pyramids was sometime around when Joseph was in Egypt.”

“I actually get this question a lot, so let's dig into it. Okay, so this is [...]. Check this out. So it starts like this is huge little timeline, right? Starts with Adam and Eve, and then it goes through all of the bloodlines. Like we've got Methuselah starting here, which is very interesting because he started the same time as Adam, right? So he was alive during the time of Adam. So everything that he heard, like all the history of time, right? Was spoken to Methuselah from Adam, right? So we go over here and we keep going with Methuselah all the way over to Noah. Check this out. So Noah, same timeline, right? So all the stories from everything else Noah was talking about, he heard from Methuselah. And we keep going over here to the great flood where everything's wiped out, right? Methuselah, everybody. And then only thing that continues is the bloodlines of Noah and then onward and onward. And then we've got the Tower of Babel here, plus we got China starting in here.

Good questions

Before you order

How big is it?

Big. Unfolded, it runs about 23 feet. Closed, it's a tall hardcover (see the creator's photos). You never have to open it all at once.

Do I have to unfold the whole thing?

No. Turn it panel by panel like a book, open a few panels across a table, or lay out the full length when you have the floor space.

What years does it cover?

It starts at Creation, with Adam and Eve at 4004 BC in Archbishop Ussher's traditional chronology, and ends in the late 1800s.

Is it a Bible timeline?

Yes. Biblical history runs side by side with world history (Egypt, Greece, Babylon, Rome, China and more) from Creation onward. If you want a purely secular timeline, this isn't the one.

Are the dates historically accurate?

It reproduces a 19th-century chart, so its dates follow Archbishop James Ussher's 17th-century chronology and the scholarship of the 1870s. Many of them differ from modern dating. Enjoy it as a historic chart and a Bible-and-history companion, not as a modern reference book.

Is the print easy to read?

It's packed with detail and some lettering is small. It reads best panel by panel on a table in good light; a magnifying glass helps with the finest print.

Is it suitable for children?

We suggest paging through it together first. Because it reproduces a 19th-century chart, it includes classical engravings (Adam and Eve in the garden, for example), and a few panels reflect 1870s views of history and people that feel dated today.

Is this the original 1871 chart, or an official edition?

No. It's a modern reproduction of the chart first published in 1871 by Sebastian C. Adams, a 19th-century Presbyterian minister and teacher. The original is in the public domain. This is not an original copy and not a publisher's official edition.

What's the free gift, and how do I get it?

A crucifix pendant necklace. It's added to your cart at no cost when you tap Add to cart on this page. No code needed.

How much is shipping?

The exact shipping cost for your address is shown at checkout, before you pay. For US orders it is $3.99, and it's free on orders from $59.99.

What about returns, or damage in transit?

If your chart arrives damaged, or you have a question about a return, write to us through our Contact page with your order number and a photo.
