Depends on who you would have asked... for example the Jewish calender goes back much further than what we know today as "BC" and "AD", and in that case it would have been year 3859 (or there abouts, depending on what day/month it was)
BC = before christ AD = Anno Domini (year of our Lord) we are in the year 2011, time before year 1 was BC time afterwards (what we live in) is AD
2,000,001 BC(2 million and 1 year BC) - 'Before' means further back in time.
Nothing. There was no time period between BC and AD. 1 BC was followed by 1 AD. There was no year zero or any gap between BC and AD.
we count bc time by doing this for example we have a digit sating 2189 we cross out the last 2 digits and then add 1 to the 2 digits that are left OS the answer fro this equation would be ofcourse 22nd century see how easy this it. i learnt it from my teacher mrs perry at alfaisal college
BC and AD
There was no period between BC and AD. One followed the other. After 1 BC was the year 1 AD. There was no year zero or anything else between BC and AD. BC is Before Christ. AD is Anno Domini, the time of Our Lord, so basically from when he was born. So there is no time period in between before he was born and when he was born.
Oh, dude, 1 BC stands for 1 "Before Christ," so technically, there are zero years in 1 BC because it's a countdown to the year 1 AD. It's like saying how many years are in the year before your birthday - none, right? So, yeah, no years in 1 BC.
Yes, also known as "Before Christ". We are currently in the year 2010, which goes backward to the year 1. The year immediately preceding 1 was 1 BC. So it would have gone from December 31, 1 BC to January 1, 1 AD.
3 BC falls in the 1st century BC. The 1st century BC spans from 100 BC to 1 BC, with the year 1 BC being the last year of that century. Thus, 3 BC is the third year of the 1st century BC.
The year 1 BC.
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.
There is no certain answer that everyone can agree on.
