Ussher–Jones reckoning

born c. 3609 BC · died c. 2714 BC

F. N. Jones’s Ussher-style chronology, used by Theographic: one of several traditional counts, added up from the ages and reigns in the Hebrew text. The Jewish count (Seder Olam) and the Septuagint’s figures differ from it, for early Genesis by centuries. Not a scholarly date.

Most early-Genesis dates are not historically established: they are reckoned from the ages in the genealogies, and nothing outside the text confirms them.
