Fantastic Big Picture View of History
Review by Kathleen C
As a homeschool mom, I’m always looking for tools that help my kids see history rather than just memorize names and dates, and the Adams Synchronological Chart has been an incredible addition to our studies. This massive fold-out chart lays out biblical, ancient, and world history side-by-side, making it so much easier for my children to understand how events and civilizations overlap. It’s visually impressive, engaging, and sparks a lot of “aha!” moments during our lessons.

I especially appreciate how the chart integrates biblical history with secular timelines without feeling cluttered. It has become a go-to reference in our homeschool room—we pull it out for history, Bible, and even geography connections. If you're a parent who values a big-picture view of history, this chart is absolutely worth having.
One of a Kind
Review by JC
This used to hang on the wall of my college's library. It's also at the Creation Museum. I don't have the wall space to just hang it up, but it is impressive to see it all at once like that. It's definitely a unique resource. Will I use it for everyday educational purposes? Probably not. The Big Book charts are more manageable for homeschool class time in my opinion. But it it very interesting to explore? Absolutely. Even if you don't have the wall space to hang and leave it up, it is a beautiful and fascinating resource to have.
Vintage, but Relevant!
Review by Charity
Named for it's creator, Hon. S.C. Adams, this chart is a reproduction of a vintage resource that was first released around the time of and displayed at the centennial exposition. This chart is just as relevant impressive now, as we approach the semiquincentennial anniversary of our nation.

This chart clearly and beautifully illustrates important events since the beginning of time and presents a chronology determined by Usher who based the age of the earth on chronical information taken from Scripture. Each civilization and stream is clearly indicated and laid out so that you can see the connections between the different events around the world that were happening at the same point in time, as well as the effects of some of the se events. The accompanying 64 page key gives a succinct overview of all of the major events within each stream presented here.

This would be a great resource to use alongside World's Story or any of the upper level MB courses. The PDF version is great for zooming in on specific parts of the timeline, but nothing can beat the impact of the physical format.

I will mention that there are some slightly graphic images of statues such as Colossus of Rhodes and the image from Nebuchadnezzer's Dream. There are also illustrations featuring a few major Greek deities. All of these are very minor and mainly confined to one or two pannels.


Great Resource!
Review by LaceeC
The Adams Chart of History is a great resource! It makes it possible to see all the events that were happening at the same time and where they were happening. It is handy to have while reading through the Bible or as a resource alongside your history lessons.
Invaluable resource for seeing history
Review by BuildingontheRock
The Adams’ Chart of History is an invaluable resource that gives world history from creation to the early 1900s. Seeing a visual of the overlapping lives of Adam and his descendants is very impactful, as well as the development of the nations of our world, along with various interesting details along the way, which are expanded upon in the Key. The printed material is a large fold out with colorful lines and drawings which captivate the attention. The digital PDF shows each panel per digital page. It allows for zooming in to read small print for in-depth study. I recommend having both the printed and digital versions to make the most of this invaluable resource. The printed version allows for taking in large portions or the timeline as a whole. The digital version allows for examining smaller sections at a time.
A great Bible Study Resource!
Review by CRill
I thought this was just a timeline but its so much more than that! Its full of facts and history woven in between the dates, events, and people. It has commentary and pictures to keep it engaging for adults and children alike. A great addition to every library!
Enjoyable
Review by Rebecca
My family and I could look at this for hours, great resource!
Woah!
Review by Jennifer
This is really cool. It's easy to reflect on people and events in the bible, in history, but then to be able to see it on the timeline helps tie everything together. It's an amazing resource.
