what bc/bce and ad/ceBCE (Before Common Era) is the same as BC (Before Christ)CE (Common Era) is the same as AD (Anno Domini)Welcome to my timeline.I want to explain to you what BCE and CE areAnd compare them to BC and ADI also want to look out how we can read year dates in BCE or BCHere is a timeline. At one end we have 2000 BCE At the other end we have 2000 CE and 2012 CE -- where we are now.But wait!Wasn't it 2012A.D.?Why was the wording changed?To understand why some people have moved from BCTo BCE, let's look at the origin of BC and AD.Invented by Dionysus ExiggusStarted the "Year of our Lord" at where he figured Jesus was born.If you aren't religious or you don't believe that Jesus was Christ, then it wouldn't make much sense for you to use BC or AD. So, people have started using BCE or CE to be respectful of people who aren't Christians. But, still, the numbers stay the same. And BCE, just like BC, counts backwards.900 BCE or BC was BEFORE 500 BCE or BCAnd anything BCE or BC was before anything CE or AD
