    Historians, scholars, religious alike use this dating system. I don’t know where you are getting your information, but this is the accepted dating system.

    Christ wasn’t born in the year you’re saying. I’m not some religious person, but he wasn’t. So something that happened 552 BC was not 2552 years ago (as of year 2000 CE- or 'common era')

Ancient Egypt Civilization - Presentation Transcript

  1. Egypt World History Chapter 4 3100 B.C. – 671 B.C.
  2. The Dating Game
    • What does B.C. mean?
    • It stands for Before Christ, and it means the number of years before the birth of Jesus Christ . That was 2000 years ago, so the date 552 B.C. means 2552 years ago.
    • Some people use B.C.E. instead. That stands for Before the Common Era, and is used in order to avoid Christian references. History for Kids feels that since this is a Christian dating system, it's a little silly to try to hide that.
    • What does A.D. mean?
    • A.D. stands for Anno Domini, which is Latin for "year of our Lord," and it means the number of years since the birth of Jesus Christ . That was 2000 years ago, so the date 500 A.D. means 1500 years ago.
    • Some people use C.E. instead. That stands for Common Era, and is used in order to avoid Christian references. History for Kids feels that since this is a Christian dating system, it's a little silly to try to hide that.
