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

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.

500 BC would go first on a timeline before 450 BC.
Is the year 460 bc before 370 bc?
Yes because in BC it goes backwards meaning that 50BC is closer to present day than 500BC
Which one is earlier - 30000 BC or 10000 BC?
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.
