The Chronology of Ancient Nations by Dr. C. Edward Sachau is an English translation of the Arabic text Athâr-ul-Bâkiya by the Persian scholar Al-Biruni. Written around 1000 AD, Al-Biruni's work explores the history and chronology of ancient civilizations, including the Greeks, Egyptians, Indians, Persians, and others. The text provides a detailed account of the ancient world's dating systems, astronomical knowledge, and cultural developments. Al-Biruni combines historical research with scientific inquiry, making this work a pioneering contribution to the study of ancient history, astronomy, and cross-cultural comparisons, offering valuable insights into the intellectual exchange of the era.

Carl Eduard Sachau (1845–1930) was a German Orientalist known for his significant contributions to the study of Islamic law, history, and languages. He is best known for translating Al-Biruni's Chronology of Ancient Nations (1879), a seminal work on the history and chronology of ancient civilizations. Sachau also authored Alberuni's India (1910), an important English translation of Al-Biruni's observations on India. His research extended to Syriac translations, Islamic law, and Aramaic texts, and he wrote extensively on the history of early Christianity in the Orient. His work bridged historical, cultural, and religious studies, shaping modern Oriental scholarship.
