Sample entry from "The Annals of the World" the chronology of Ussher 2083a AM, 2792 JP (Julian Calendar), 1922 BC 70. God called Abraham out of Ur, of the Chaldeans, to go into the land that he would show him. Ge 15:7 Jos 24:2,3 Ne 9:7 Ac 7:2-4. Ur was located in Mesopotamia according to Stephen the first martyr and Abarbenel. Ge 11:1-32 Ur was the city of the priests and mathematicians, who from their art, were called by the name of Chaldeans. By this name also even in Chaldea itself, those Genethliaci, or recorders of genealogies were distinguished and known from the rest of the Magi or wise men of that country, as we find in Da 2:2,10 4:7 5:11. These taught Terah and his sons idolatry. Jos 24:2 Terah therefore took Abram his son and Lot his nephew, the son of Haran and Sarai his daughter-in-law, Abram's wife, and started their journey together from Ur of the Chaldeans, to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran in the same country of Mesopotamia and there they stayed because of the great infirmity and sickness of Terah. Terah lived 205 years and died in Haran. Ge 11:31,32 -- James Ussher (circa 1581) "The Annals of the World." Included in the chronology of his Annals is the father-son progression from Adam to Noah, based primarily on the Hebrew Scriptures texts circa 300 A.D.. The earlier Torah in Septuagint Greek, and the year dates of other Ireland Annals, and modern era Hebrew year dates, use a different calculation than that of Ussher (#). =welcome>about>help> back(to"start")>Ussher>

James Ussher of Ireland James, of the "house of Ussher", his family was the first to print in the Irish Language, and later published the first Gaelic New Testiment. James was the first to set dates and chronology, in an ordered fashion format, sequencing the history of the world, in biblical syncronism, a task attempted by many noted scholars of the Renaissance. His terminology "Age of the World" ("A.M.") was based on Hebrew calendars and years, bible extractions, and the study of clasical authors of history. In this way he dated the world from creation, and assigned years and days to Adam, Noah, and every major character during the whole span of ancient history commonly refered to as "B.C.", the bulk of his work regarding the classic ages of the Jews, Persian, Greeks, and Romans, up to 73 A.D.
