Yes, prior to the birth of Jesus Christ years counted backwards.....30 B.C. stands for 30 years Before Christ
Yes- although years were not actually recorded as part of dates until sometime in A.D.
Because it's counting backwards from "Before Christ". So 500BC is 500 years before Christ. It's confusing at first but once you get used to it it's easier
Yes, Example:630BC-612BC
2 B.C.The years before 1 AD go backwards; 2 BC was before 1 BC, 3 BC was before 2 BC, and so on. After 1 AD, the years go forward; 1, 2, 3....(We are in the year 2011 A.D.)
The year that comes after 184 BC is 183 BC.
Someone who is born in 1760 Bc. because in BC. the dates go backwards. For example, lets say someone was 33yrs old and they were born in 1200BC. And their mom is 53yrs old. and she was born in 999Bc. She is older. Do you get it? If not to get more info. search in by ask.com. Hope it helped! :)
years were numbered to count backward to indicate the number of years an event had occurred βbefore Christβ or βB.C.β
1500 bc came before 753 bc. Year numbers go down in "bc", where the next year has a lower number than the previous year all the way to 1 bc. The year after 1 bc is 1 ad. To give an example, a tree that sprouted in 1500 bc would be about 753 years older by 753 bc and about 1500 years older by year 1 bc. On 1 ad, it would be 1501 years old.
2 B.C.The years before 1 AD go backwards; 2 BC was before 1 BC, 3 BC was before 2 BC, and so on. After 1 AD, the years go forward; 1, 2, 3....(We are in the year 2011 A.D.)
Yes it was. The years BC count backwards to the year 1 BC (12000, 11999, 11998 etc)
The year that comes after 184 BC is 183 BC.
No, it can't go backwards
Yes because in BC it goes backwards meaning that 50BC is closer to present day than 500BC
does the clock go backwards
500. BC goes backwards. ie. ..., 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 , 1, 0, 1, 2, 3 , 4, 5, 6 , 7.... BC AD This happens because nobody really knows when BC started so the numbers can go back forever.
BC means before christ. It is a time (I think incorrectly) denoted as the year the christian prophet, Jesus. Any time before this is said to be 1 year before christ, 2 years before christ etc
6,000 BC is earlier. A timeline works like so: the "J" represents the birth of Christ, which is the event which separates BC and AD. From the "J" forward is where we are now. The numbers increase 0 to 2011. From the "J" backwards the number decreases 0 to (whenever the world began). Therefore 6,000 BC come before 3,000BC.

If you use acuvue, they have ABC lightly etched on one side, so you know that if it reads correctly it's the right way. if it is backwards, you are putting the contact on backwards.
