Question

Why the years of BC and BCE is counted backwards?
can anyone tell me the correct answer. I will mark as brainlist​

Answer 1

Answer:

We count the years since Christ, we count the years before Christ. ... BC stands for Before Christ. Apparently some people think AD means after death, but it does not. It is Anno Domini, which means "in the year of the Lord".

Answer 2

Answer:

The addition of the B.C. component happened two centuries after Dionysius, when the Venerable Bede of Northumbria published his "Ecclesiastical History of the English People" in 731. ... Prior years were numbered to count backward to indicate the number of years an event had occurred “before Christ” or “B.C.”
