∙ 13y agoBecause it's counting backwards from "Before Christ". So 500BC is 500 years before Christ. It's confusing at first but once you get used to it it's easier

1500 bc came before 753 bc. Year numbers go down in "bc", where the next year has a lower number than the previous year all the way to 1 bc. The year after 1 bc is 1 ad. To give an example, a tree that sprouted in 1500 bc would be about 753 years older by 753 bc and about 1500 years older by year 1 bc. On 1 ad, it would be 1501 years old.

Why does bc years go backwards?
BC means before christ. It is a time (I think incorrectly) denoted as the year the christian prophet, Jesus. Any time before this is said to be 1 year before christ, 2 years before christ etc
Which one is earlier - 30000 BC or 10000 BC?
6,000 BC is earlier. A timeline works like so: the "J" represents the birth of Christ, which is the event which separates BC and AD. From the "J" forward is where we are now. The numbers increase 0 to 2011. From the "J" backwards the number decreases 0 to (whenever the world began). Therefore 6,000 BC come before 3,000BC.
