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Ussher travelled throughout Europe, gathering much information from the actual historical documents.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 form creation to A.D.
