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.

What are BC dates like on a number line?

BC dates on a number line are represented as descending values as you move left from a reference point, typically the year 1 AD, which separates BC and AD. For example, 500 BC is located to the left of 400 BC, which is further left than 300 BC. This means that the higher the BC number, the earlier in history it represents. Essentially, the timeline moves backward as you go from AD to BC.

58 years are between 30 BC and AD 30. The first thing you need to remember is that there is no year 0; the year before AD 1 is 1 BC. So the years between 30 BC and AD 30 are... 29 BC, 28 BC, 27 BC, ..., 2 BC, 1 BC, AD1, AD 2, ..., AD 27, AD 28, AD 29 29 BC through 1 BC is 29 years, and AD 1 through AD 29 is 29 years. 29 years + 29 years = 58 years
