Try milliseconds from the epoch - 1/1/1970

select to_date('01/01/1970','mm/dd/yyyy') + ( 1069716948959 / (24*60*60*1000) ) from dual

You really need to know how the timestamp column is defined by your app.

Since it's a NUMBER datatype, try:
SQL> column time_stamp format 99999999999999999999
SQL> select user_name, time_stamp from USER_ACTIVITY_LOG;

I need to view time_stamp column in USER_ACTIVITY_LOG table but it displays unreadable format as shown below. Is there a way to decode it to be readable?

SQL> desc USER_ACTIVITY_LOG

Name Null? Type

----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------

TIME_STAMP NOT NULL NUMBER(20)

NODE_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(20)

USER_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(20)

CLIENT_IP NOT NULL VARCHAR2(15)

DESCRIPTION NOT NULL VARCHAR2(2048)

SQL>select user_name, time_stamp from USER_ACTIVITY_LOG;
