3987 b.c.e.
Answer:
It would seem that all you do is subtract 6000 from the present year (2013 - 6000 = 3987), then tack on the BCE to indicate it is before the Common Era. However, consider what happens if you ask what year was 2013 years ago. By the same logic 2013-2013=0 so the answer is the year zero.
There is no year zero so the answer would be 1 BCE.
So the answer to the initial question would be 3987 BCE
6,009 years ago Answer: As there was no year "0" 4000 BCE was 6008 years ago.
The year 2800 BC was 3461 years ago. This is because AD started on the year 1, not on the year 0.
The current year is 2011 AD, so the year 2000 years ago was 11 AD. 2500 years ago is 2011 - 2500 = -489, so that would be 489 BC.
10400 years ago was 8385 BCE or BC if you prefer
In 2018, remembering there was no year zero, 3500 years ago it was 1483 BC.
