It stands for Before Christ. The initials BC and AD (Anno Domini) were created after the 525 Easter as a way to divide dates as occurring before or after Christ's birth. Anno Domini Nostri Iesu (Jesu) Christi literally means 'in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ. AD refers to any year after or including the birth of Christ (They were off by a few years in their calculations). The first year AD is 1 AD, intended to be the year of Christ's birth. Preceding 1 AD is the year 1 BC. There was no 12 month period designated Year Zero.
It has been approximately 2797 years since 776 BC.
To determine how many years ago 8000 BC was, we need to subtract 8000 from the current year. As of 2022, the calculation would be 2022 + 1 (accounting for the lack of a year 0) - 8000 = 3983 years ago. Therefore, 8000 BC was approximately 3983 years ago.
We can say that bc (or bce) ended with the start of the common era (denoted by ad or ce). Present estimates put the age of the earth at 4.54 billion years, plus or minus 45 million. So, if it is meaningful to start counting from the beginning of the world, then that would be about 4.54 billion years bc.
Oh, dude, the fall of the Northern Kingdom of Israel happened around 722 BC, and the fall of the Southern Kingdom of Judah was around 586 BC, so that's like, umm, about 136 years apart. But like, who's counting, right?
