  6. Timelines and Chronologies

  7. Important Facts Concerning Timelines • Use equal increments of time between dates when constructing a timeline • The USA (as well as most countries in the world) use a Christian calendar (Gregorian) • BC means “Before Christ” • AD means “In the year of the Lord” • BCE (”Before Common Era”) has replaced BC • CE (“Common Era”) has replaced AD • If there are two BCs/BCEs or two ADs/CEs, minus the dates 2000 – 1945 = 55 years • If there is one BC/BCE and one AD/CE, add the dates 2000 + 221BCE = 2,221 years
