It means 500 years before the birth of Christ as calculated by the early Christians. Most modern scholars believe Jesus was born around about 4BC. Today the more "politically correct" Before Common Era (BCE) is more commonly used.
current year + BC year - 1 Example: 2013 + 500 - 1 = 2512, so 500 BC is 2512 years before AD 2013.
500 BC occurred first, as it is earlier in the chronological timeline than 375 BC. The years are counted backward from the year 1 AD, so any year with a higher number before Christ (BC) is earlier than a year with a lower number. Thus, 500 BC predates 375 BC by 125 years.
The BC ending in a year date means Before Christ.
Yes, "BC" stands for "Before Christ" and is used to denote years before the traditional date of the birth of Jesus Christ. When referencing a year in the BC era, it is placed before the year number, such as "500 BC." In contrast, "AD" (Anno Domini) is used for years after Christ's birth and follows the year number, like "AD 500."
To calculate how many years ago 500 BC was from 2016, you need to add the years before Christ (BC) to the years after Christ (AD). Since there is no year 0, you add 500 years (BC) to 2016 years (AD), resulting in a total of 2516 years ago.
BC, is an abbreviation of "Before Christ."
current year + BC year - 1 Example: 2013 + 500 - 1 = 2512, so 500 BC is 2512 years before AD 2013.

before Christ ( before Jesus's Birth)
The term BC is used in reference to the time period before Christ while the term AD is used to describe the after Jesus was born. That means that the year 500 BC is 500 years before Christ was born.
BC and AD
500 bc
about the year 1000 BC, but it became a massive empire in 500 BC.
To convert a year in BC (Before Christ) to the corresponding year in AD (Anno Domini), you add the BC year to the present year and then subtract 1. For example, if the current year is 2023 and you want to convert 500 BC, you would calculate 2023 + 500 - 1, which equals 2522. This method accounts for the lack of a year zero in the transition from BC to AD.
