C.E. replaces A.D. to mean the years after the alleged birth of Jesus. C.E. means "common era". It used to mean "Christian Era" and A.D. meant "Anno Domini" which meant "in the year of our Lord" in Latin. The old terms are considered culturally biased so they were changed to culturally neutral terms.

What does 1000CE mean?

1000 CE stands for "Common Era" and refers to the year 1000 in the Gregorian calendar, which is used in most of the world today. The Common Era system is a secular way of denoting years, replacing the religious connotations of BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini). CE is often used in academic and historical contexts to provide a more inclusive timeline. The year 1000 CE falls within the medieval period in European history.

What is the difference between BC and CE?

BC (Before Christ) and CE (Common Era) are both systems used to label years in the Gregorian calendar. BC refers to the years before the estimated birth of Jesus Christ, while CE counts the years from that point onward, beginning with year 1. CE is often preferred in secular contexts to avoid religious implications, as it aligns with the same timeline as AD (Anno Domini, meaning "in the year of our Lord"). Essentially, the two systems represent the same time periods but with different cultural connotations.
