The abbreviation BCE, written in full as "Before Common Era" or "Before Christian Era" (both meanings being considered correct), flows more naturally when placed after the date.
BCE is not a date. To turn the term BCE (Before the Common/Christian Era) into a date you need to put a number before it. A date is the numbering of a year. BCE years are years that came before the Christian era; that is, before Christianity emerged .
1939 is during the Common Era, so it has no BCE date.
BC - Before Christ = BCE - Before the Common Era .
2000 BCE is before 200 BCE is the correct answer. A timeline works like so: the "I" represents the birth of Christ, which is the event which separates BCE and CE. From the "I" forward is where we are now. The numbers increase 0 to 2011. From the "I" backwards the number decreases 0 to (whenever the world began). Therefore 2000 BC come before 200BC.

B.C.E. replaces B.C. and means Before The Common Era.
Someone born in 1760 BCE is older than someone born in 1450 BCE. The BCE (Before Common Era) dating system counts backwards from year 1, so the higher the number, the earlier the date. Therefore, 1760 BCE occurred before 1450 BCE.
BCE = Before the Common Era or B.C.I now finally understand BC, BCE AD and CE but where does BP come in to play. Before present. Is that before 2013 or before 01?
BCE stands for "Before Common Era," a secular term used to denote years before the traditional date of the birth of Jesus Christ. It is equivalent to BC (Before Christ) but is preferred in non-religious contexts. For example, 500 BCE refers to 500 years before the start of the Common Era (CE), which is the same as AD (Anno Domini). This system aims to provide a more inclusive way of referencing historical dates.
2450BCE would have a BP (Before Present) date of 4400BP.BP is set at the 1st January 1950.
