  • A timeline for these years:
    • 2 BCE → 1 BCE → 1 CE → 2 CE.

    • Examples:

      1. How many years ago was the Buddha born (560 BCE) from 2024 CE?

        • 560+2024−1=2,583 years ago.560 + 2024 - 1 = 2,583 \, \text{years ago.}

      2. Alexander the Great died in 323 BCE. How many years ago was that from 2024 CE?

        • 323+2024−1=2,346 years ago.323 + 2024 - 1 = 2,346 \, \text{years ago.}

      3. If a historical event occurred in 500 BCE, how many years ago was it from 2024 CE?

        • 500+2024−1=2,523 years ago.500 + 2024 - 1 = 2,523 \, \text{years ago.}

      4. The Great Wall of China was started in 221 BCE. How many years ago is that from 2024 CE?

        • 221+2024−1=2,244 years ago.221 + 2024 - 1 = 2,244 \, \text{years ago.}

      5. If the Mahavira was born in 599 BCE, how many years ago is that from 2024 CE?

        • 599+2024−1=2,622 years ago.599 + 2024 - 1 = 2,622 \, \text{years ago.}
