To calculate how many years ago 700 BC was, you add 700 years to the current year, 2023. This means 700 BC was 2,723 years ago.
The earlier date is 700BC, or 700 years before the birth of Jesus Christ (BC=Before Christ). It may to think of 700BC as 700 years before the year zero (ie -700), and 100BC as 100 years before the year zero (ie -100). On the other hand, if you are looking at it from the point of view of today and looking backwards, then the first date is 100BC (2008 + 100 = 2108 years ago), and the later date is 700BC ( 2008 + 700=2708 years ago).
2012 subtracted from 700bc = 1312
