Using the Bible as his timeline, Ussher began with the death of Nebuchadnezzar as a reliable date and worked backward through the genealogies of the Old Testament to arrive at the date of creation - 4004 B.C. Many of these documents are no longer available, having been destroyed since the time of his research. Ussher traveled throughout Europe, gathering much information from the actual historical documents. This famous comprehensive history of the world, originally published in Latin, offers a look at history rarely seen. The result was published in 1658 as the literary classic The Annals of the World. In the years 1650-1654, James Ussher set out to write a history of the world from creation to A.D. What does secular history say about the darkness.What really happened when the sun “went backward”.Why did Alexander the Great burn his ships in.Why was Julius Caesar kidnapped in 75 B.C.?.In its pages can be found the fascinating history of the ancient world from the Genesis creation through the destruction of the Jerusalem temple.
