What's in the box
One Adams Synchronological Chart, folded accordion-style inside its hardcover case. Nothing to assemble, no tubes, no frames β lift the cover and it's ready to explore.
Size & format
Opens out to roughly 23 feet (about 7 metres) of continuous timeline, then folds back into a book-sized hardcover that sits on a shelf like any other volume. Read it a section at a time on the table, or stretch it down a hallway for the full effect.
Who it's for
Homeschool families, Sunday school and Bible study groups, history lovers, and anyone who has ever lost track of which empire came after which. Kids enjoy the pictures; grown-ups get lost in the detail.
Shipping & delivery
Every order ships with tracking. You'll receive your tracking link by email as soon as your chart leaves the warehouse. If it arrives damaged, email support@alatlas.store with a photo and we'll make it right.
History was never meant to be read in pieces
Most of us learned history one chapter at a time β Egypt this month, Rome the next, the Bible on Sunday. The pieces never quite met. The Adams chart puts them on the same page, so you can run a finger down any moment in time and see who was ruling, building, writing and wandering all at once.
It's the kind of book people pull off the shelf just to look at, and then can't put back.
From closed book to the whole story in a minute
No setup, no instructions to memorise. The chart is laid out so the eye does the work.
How it works
Open the cover
Lay the book on a table and pull the chart out panel by panel β as much or as little as you need today.
Pick an era
Start wherever your lesson, sermon or question begins: the Flood, the Exodus, the reign of David, the fall of Rome.
Read across
Follow the coloured streams side to side to see which nations, rulers and events lived in the same moment.
Fold it back
When you're done, it closes into its hardcover and goes back on the shelf in seconds β no rolling, no tubes.
Made to be opened again and again
A hardcover case protects the chart and lets it live on a shelf instead of in a tube.
No page breaks in the middle of an empire. The timeline runs continuously from end to end.

Engravings and portraits along the way give younger readers something to point at and ask about.
Nations flow in coloured bands, so you can compare kingdoms across the same century at a glance.

The whole timeline vs. the usual way
Textbooks and apps are great at details. The Adams chart is great at the big picture β and that's the part most of us never got.
- Every era on one continuous line
- See what happened at the same time
- Scripture and world history together
- Something to touch, point at and talk over
- One hardcover on the shelf
- Chapters you have to flip between
- One country's story at a time
- Sacred and secular kept in separate books
- Another screen competing for attention
- A stack of books to store
You don't have to open it all at once. Most families unfold a few panels on the dining table for the era they're studying. For a special occasion, stretch it along a hallway or pin it to a wall.
No. Biblical history runs alongside the great civilisations of the ancient and modern world β Egypt, Assyria, Persia, Greece, Rome, the kingdoms of Europe and more β so it works for any history study.
Young children love the illustrations and the sheer length of it; older students and adults use it as a serious reference. It grows with your family rather than being outgrown.
It follows the layout of Sebastian Adams' original 19th-century chart, beginning with the earliest recorded history and continuing through the 1800s.
It's printed on sturdy paper and folds into a protective hardcover, so it's made for regular handling. As with any book, a little care when unfolding keeps it looking its best for years.
