Oh, what a happy little question! BC stands for "Before Christ," and it helps us count the years before the birth of Jesus. So, in a way, BC does go backwards in time, helping us understand history and how far back events occurred. Just like painting, understanding time can be a beautiful journey of discovery.

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.)
What year came after 184 BC?
The year that comes after 184 BC is 183 BC.
Who is older someone born in 1760 BCE or 1450 BCE?
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! :)
Why does the dates go backwards in BC?
years were numbered to count backward to indicate the number of years an event had occurred “before Christ” or “B.C.”
What came before 1500 bc or 753 bc?
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.
