Well, honey, the BC years count down because they're like a reverse timeline leading up to the big 0. It all started with this monk named Dionysius Exiguus in the 6th century who decided to reset the calendar to mark the birth of Jesus. So, we're basically counting down to the ultimate birthday bash.

How many years are recorded in BC?

Therefore, the number of years recorded in BC is infinite, as it can continue indefinitely into the past.

In 2457 BC work gangs began quarrying at Tura For the next 14 years they ferried stone across the flooded valley In what year was the process completed?
BC means Before Christ. Intead of counting up the years like you do in AD (AD is what we count in now, e.g. 2001, 2002, 2003), you count backwards till you get 0 BC, which is when Christ was born. After 0 BC starts 1 AD then 2 AD etc. So basically, if you started in 2457 BC, and finished 14 years later, you would finish in 2443 BC.
