I just love the internet, almost anything you're ever curious about, someone has made a video about it Thankyou for this video

after 12 years of school with history, I never knew what these meant, just took a 6min video from youtube to understand this very clearly Thank you!!

Been reading a lot of history books, and have constantly been procrastinating about what AD/BC/BCE/CE means and how it works. Ahahah, thank you for this!

Thank you for this accurate explanation. A lot of people believe that BCE and CE have "officially replaced" BC and AD, but they haven't. They have been "officially included" as labels in the numbering system. I'm an historian and still use BC and AD for my publications.

Oh, so this whole concept isn't actually that confusing to understand. Thank you for the straight forward explination

This is the first time in 40 years that I've notice someone put AD before the number. I've always heard it as like, "1000 AD".

I must say the way you explained everything is absolutely phenomenal. Thank you!

this made so much more sense that what my teacher told us

Every time I see "BCE" & "CE" I read that this person possibly cares more about their own politics than actual history, science, & truth. I'd like to ask them how they feel about changing the names of the months or even the days of the week - since many of those also originate from ancient religions.

Who came here by searching it?

I don't know why I went searching B.C. and A.D. today. But after an hour or so looking at different sites and articles, this 6min video has answered my question and helped me understand far more than all those sites combined! I thank you!

This is such an Amazing Channel. - I failed in School and Dropped out of College due to Mental Health Issues. I'm now a Middle Aged man in my 30's, and I'm re-educating myself on just about everything I missed out on. Thank you so much for this! I love your channel!

Explained in 5 min while my teacher took 40 min.

I did not understand it in 14 years of my school life, and you explained it in just 6 minutes. Thanks a lottttt!

I have been searching for this for a long time, no matter how much I read the art history timeline it was never clear to me how this thing works exactly. Thanks for clearifying this, make more videos like this.

I didn't need to pause the video for a sec , SO SMOOTH AND EASY EXPLANATION

Great explanation, thanks! I've been watching Roman Empire from Netflix and it was annoying not to understand when the events took place =| This was good, now I have better understanding.

It's refreshing to learn again. I only learnt about BC and Ad but now i understand CE and BCE.

I thought I could avoid this topic my whole life but here I am

It’s useless to use CE and BCE when AD and BC are perfectly fine. Is it something broken that we have fix it?

BC/AD FOREVER !! But very informative video thank you very much for the explanation 🤙🏽

Thanks for this informative video, and thanks for clear speaking with a decent pronunciation that is easy to understand by whom their native language is not English.

Thank you so much for letting me clear my doubts in such a beautiful and easy way! 😃❤️

I was taught this back in the 80's by my mom when she introduced me to Greek mythologies. I'm glad it's the samething you just posted 😊. Now, I can tell my kids the same thing. Thanks man.....very educating and clear. 👍👍👍💯

I must admit i thought AD meant after death thanks for clearing that up.

AD: Anno Domini (Latin phrase: In the year of our lord), BC: Before Christ

Brilliantly put together and meticulously delivered. Thanks a lot.

Knew the BC, AD system. Had a hunch on the BCE, CE. I was right. Just a secular correlation.

Really , I am amazed , the way you are explaining it . Subscription is done.

excellent video. I think the AD, after death confusion was odd how it came about considering Jesus is not dead but lives. He died for our sins and was resurrected three days later.

Thanks. I have been troubled by this for a long time whenever I read history.

Explained in easiest way and indeed it's useful topic...I'm grateful to you

Very clear and rich explanation! Thank you!

Thanks alot for teaching us in 5 minutes cause it took my teacher to teach us for a few days :D

What does the "common era" have in common?

Thank so much, you explained very well and in a simple manner.

I love history, and i alway reading a book about history, my friends know that i have a little knowledge about history, and when they ask me about the letters BC,AD,BCE and CE i only knew the meaning but i cant explained what is the difference of it, only the BC and AD, now i know what is BCE and CE stand for, thanks a lot😁

This made absolute sense and it cleared my confusion

your history teacher probably sent you here, or this got in your recommended. if your one of my classmates hi im travis

5 years old will understand what is bc and ad. Thanks for the clear explanation with the example it really helps!!

Perfect. Straight to the point. Thank you.

This video is teach me more effective n easy to remember than all my teacher.

So they wanted BCE & CE in order to avoid mentioning Jesus…and yet the “fixed point” in time for the calendar remains the same…the birth of Christ. Those are some smart people whoever started that nonsense.

Thanks for clearing the whole thing up for me!

All confusion gone. Thanks.

This is perfect...thankyou so much: )

Very good explanation...thank you so much.. I did know about this concept.. and thank you for correcting us about AD as after Jesus was born... I used to the same mistake as u told in the video by referring AD as After Death... Thanks a tonne for such a good knowledgeable video... - With Love from India... 😃😃😄😄

We are AD 2020 now. Thanks for explaining it.

I am a Muslim and I find it disrespectful to use CE and BCE because as a scientist, I respect the work of other scientists whether that's the church.

Ik the meaning already but didn't know the reason. Thanks for the elaboration.

Thankyou for the video, explanation. Its really good explanation 😊 God bless your channel

Hi. There is an error in the 5.17 minute of your video. The second system should be CE & BCE system. Instead you have mentioned its BE?BCE system.

I dont know how this video had 225 dislikes you described it perfectly

Thanks for clearing my doubt ☺️ I was very confused, but you explained this so easily ❤️

Thank you so much for this video I understood so much

The fact that the missing 33 years were explained was enough for me. Thank you!

Thank you for this wonderful explanation..

bruv its the weekend (like a school break) and i still enjoyed this, thanks!

I'm 42 years old and glad I finally learned thisand although I had somewhat of an understanding of how everything worked I didn't know 100% and this video explained it perfectly!

Thank you a lot! It helped me so much and clarified everything I was wondering about! You are doing a great job!

Thanks for the explanation. You made it So much easier to understand. So what else would they be offended with? Days of the week or months of the year. These were also named after pagan gods and deities. It has religious affinity. Should we prepare for new names to replace them? If BCE & CE are anchored on the same events that necessitated BC & AD, why bother with the change.

Just came here again to learn, I was reading an encyclopedia full of terms like this, I decided to download this very informative video, thanks :) All the best mate 😊👍

ya know what.... I am now about to start writing and typing AD 2021. Because I can. This video was very informal thank you!

Great video! I will showing this to my class today!

The emphasis about AD is highly appreciated which had mislead me to be "After Death" since my high school subject World History is very enlightening aside from knowing their new designations as BCE and CE...

thank you so much , simply amazing . you cleared all my confusions.

Thank you so much, very much valuable video❤, lord shower his grace upon you

See you in couple of years when i start binge watching roman documenataries again and forget about this... again. Thx.

Thank you for this explanation, now I've no doubt's about this.

Finally found an answer after 23 years of my life :)

Thank you so much for this much informative video. Now i understand that as a Muslim, I should use CE (Common Era) rather than AD (Anno Domini) coz AD means "The year of our lord" and Jesus (may peace and blessings be upon him) isn't my Lord but a Prophet to us Muslims. Alhamdulillah

Thank you for making that clear. I will now add AD to anything I need to date. I am not religious but I object to the attacks on every possible aspect of western civilisation and culture. Attacks I would add that come not from non European cultures but from the pitiful woke agendas of western academia.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! God bless you! 😂❤

Finally understood!! Thank you for your accurate information

This is the first time that i understand a video, This guy explains really really really good.

Christ is so relevant that it was named in honor of him. Gosh such powerful person who walked earth. Powerful than mortal kings and rulers

So the current year is AD 2020 or 2020 CE

Thanks for explaining so well. I appreciate it.

Who else is here from distance learning? And I really thank you for making this video! It's really great.

Perfect. Explained in a way that an individual can understand easily.

Thank you very much, your explanation is great and it's easy to understand😊

Happy New year! I had a doubt why we call this year 2020 and this video was very helpful!

Quick and simple thanks.

I grew up in a Catholic family where I was taught if you do good, you will be blessed. I was a good kid - didn't drink, smoke, listened to my parents and teachers, didn't cause any trouble, and was so lonely and miserable. I saw bad things happen to good people, and good things happen to bad people. I thought "If God hates me this much in this world, there's no way I will go to heaven, so I just gave up and started hating Him. One day, a friend asked me if I was saved, and told me that she knew with 100% certainty that she was going to heaven. Based on what I believed and had been taught in my up-bringing, I thought “How arrogant can you be, thinking that you’re ‘good’ enough to go to heaven.” Eventually she took me to a Baptist church and got me started me reading the Bible. I was completely taken aback. It changed my life. Finally I understood that I could not go to heaven by good works. I broke God's law, and e(By dying on the cross) PAID MY FINE. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is LORD. He took what we deserved so we could have what HE deserved.

Thank you, now that i know what it means, im going to look on how to make a timeline.

I only heard BCE and CE today. Seems a bit silly to change it.

1:26 For Revision :- BC - Before Christ(Year count Backwords For ex :- Born : 100 BC , Died : 44 BC AD - Anno Domini/ After birth For ex :- AD 2021 BC = BCE Ad = CE

I’ve heard it proposed by a few German scholars that we should get rid of BC/AD all together and simply put a “1” in front of the current year, as it is estimated that humanity began building our first structures solely dedicated to the gods roughly 12,000 years ago, marking the true beginnings of civilization (significant to all of us) and having that mark the Common Era. Instead of this helpful video being made in 2019 AD or CE and dropping the letters, it would be 12,019 CE and dropping the letters. Anything before year one would be BCE counting in reverse? I personally like that. It’s a better reflection of humanity, less confusing, not associated with any specific religion and a simple adaptation in my opinion.

Very straight forward and informative. Thank you, keep up the great work 👍

So history even recalls Jesus Christ was really born and really lived 🙌🏾 hallelujah

Thank you for making this video and making this concept clear for me and many others!

Great job and very clearly explained. I use the traditional B.C. and A.D. since it means the same thing. Jesus' birth still separates them no matter what "term" one prefers.

I love this my teacher gave me this video to watch lol

wow took me 10 years to know this, im suprised of what it meant though..

I FINALLY understand what this means!!! Never understood it in the past. Thank you for this video; great explanations!

I have been confusing with those labels, thank you for this very simple explanation

This is what i want to know .....perfect video

This is very helpful vedio...🙏 Finally you cleared my all of doubt related to timeline of history....

Can someone plz answer me, what has every year in time been assigned? A number or an important event

Very well explained. I love history
