Answer:

Six thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

The Ussher sequence is a seventeenth century order of the historical backdrop of the world detailed from a strict perusing of the Old Testament by James Ussher, the Archbishop of Armagh.

Priest James Ussher, a 17th-century Anglican pastor and scriptural researcher had the appropriate response. aaccording to him, in a 1658 sequence titled The Annals of the World, God made the world on October 23, 4004 BCE which accounts for 6000 years for the age of the earth.
