Answer 2

This is problematic. BCE means "Before Christian Era" and is perhaps slightly more accurate than BC/AD thinking. Where the problem lies is that there wasn't necessarily a smooth transition between BC/BCE and AD/CE; that is Howard the sheep herder living in what might be called the last months of the last century BCE didn't start counting from 1 BCE to 1 CE.

Anno Domini was first introduced in 525 (this is a subjective number--more on that in a moment) by the 6th century Christian monk Dionysius Exiguus. In attempting to establish a way to calculate Easter and to avoid using the Diocletian calendar--Emperor Diocletian was a huge persecutor of Christians--he came up with some unexplained way to establish 525 years "since the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ." Exiguus didn't use the label AD himself, the Venerable Bede was the progenitor of this practice roughly 150 years later. Since we don't know how Exiguus came up with the 525 year span, and we don't have an exact date for the birth or crucifixion of Christ, we don't really know how much time spanned between the close of 1 BCE and the beginning of 1 CE (AD). We can ballpark it based on clues from the Gospels, primarily the time Pontius Pilate was Prefect of Judea (a ten year span), and the death of Herod the Great (roughly 6 AD). Best guestimates will put the actual first day of 1 AD in a 24 month window. Add to this the complication of transition from the Julian to Gregorian calendar and you may burst a blood vessel trying to suss it all out.

So, that all being said, 1792 BCE would have been 3,807 years ago, plus or minus 2 years -- 3,805 to 3,809 years ago.
