The BC (Before Christ) timeline goes backwards because it counts down the years leading up to the birth of Jesus Christ, which is designated as the starting point of the AD (Anno Domini, or "in the year of our Lord") timeline. For example, 500 BC is followed by 499 BC, indicating the passage of time prior to this pivotal event. This system reflects the historical perspective of marking time from a significant religious milestone.
