today would be AD
It isn't a question of closer to ad or bc, it IS bc. 3000bc would be -3000ad.
If Zeus was born in 700 BC, he would be 2712 years old today in 2011 AD. The difference of 1 is due to the fact that there is no year 0, which means that 1 AD immediately follows 1 BC.
To calculate how many years ago 2800 BC was from today, you add the years in BC to the current year in AD. As of 2023, that would be 2800 + 2023 = 4823 years ago. Therefore, 2800 BC was approximately 4823 years ago.
The term "BC" (Before Christ) refers to the years before the traditional date of the birth of Jesus Christ, which is considered year 1 AD (Anno Domini). To calculate the years between today (2023 AD) and BC, you add the years in BC to the years in AD. For example, if you consider the year 1 BC, there are 2023 years from 1 BC to 2023 AD, totaling 2024 years. If you consider other BC years, simply add those years to 2023.
BC comes before AD on a timeline. BC or BCE means before common era, AD means "In the year of Our Lord."BC first AD after
If you are attempting to find the total amount of time, you would add the BC years to the AD years. 1200 BC would be 1200 + 2009 = 3209 years ago.
There is no conversion involved-BCE and CE are simply secular euphemisms (replacements) for the religiously-associated BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini).Here is how years would be expressed in BC, AD, BCE and CE:September 22, 2010 AD (today's date)September 22, 2010 CE (today's date)January 1, 44 BCJanuary 1, 44 BCE
BC counts down, unlike AD which is our time. So, the year after 85 BC would therefore be 84 BC.
Asked on 4 Jan 2013 AD, so 31688 years ago it would have been:2013 AD - 31688 = -29675 ADNegative AD dates are BC, but when Dionysius Exiguus devised the AD/BC calendar (in the year 247 Anno Diocletiani, which he called 531 AD) zero (0) had not been invented, so 1 AD was preceeded by 1 BC, so -29675 AD becomes 29,676 BC.
nothing
The last date of BC was 1 BC, then the first date of AD was 1 AD, there was no zero.
Okay Will AD is older than BC because AD is very old not like BC
