It was a popular item in the mid-late 19th century, but here's the rub: it starts with with Adam & Eve and goes from there. It's a great curiosity item for studying beliefs held at that time and where JS & Co. were operating from, belief-wise. Sadly for mormons though, the Jaredites and all the other -ites aren't mentioned at all, but here's the Tower of Babel:

Another really scary aspect to this is that you buy reproductions of this in the 21st century to use in church lessons, as you can see in the above link!
