Presentation transcript:

Understanding Timelines To help us visualize time we use what is called a timeline 2007 2009 2011 2008 2010 The number of divisions and their “time distance” depends on our purpose We divide the timeline into segments to show a particular year

Understanding Timelines Let’s create a historical timeline. First we draw a line and divide it in the middle We’re going to label this point as the IMAGINARY year of zero

Understanding Timelines Now, let’s add three lines to the left of zero and three lines to the right For our exercise, each line is equal to 100 years

Understanding Timelines Now, find year “100” on your line 200 100 100 200 What? There are 2 year “100’s”? How is that possible?

Understanding Timelines You are correct, there are two year “100’s” 200 100 100 200 So how do we know if it is year 100 to the left of zero or year 100 to the right of zero?

Understanding Timelines To avoid this problem, historians agree that the imaginary year zero refers to the birth of Jesus Christ 200 100 100 200 So years to the left are referred to as “Before Christ” or “B.C.” And years to the right, “Anno Domini” or “A.D.” (“in the year of our Lord”)

Understanding Timelines The divisions B.C. and A.D were obviously developed by Christian historians To be more sensitive to non-Christians, a more neutral system was developed “B.C.” become BCE (before common era) “A.D.” becomes CE (common era)

Understanding Timelines 323 BC – Death of Alexander the Great 120 AD – Roman Empire at its height Now we can use the line to locate dates and visualize their place in “history”

Time Between Dates So how many years ago was 1200 BC? 1200 BC (target) 1200 BC (target) 2009 AD (today) So how many years ago was 1200 BC?

Time Between Dates First count back from 2009 to 0 – how many years? 1200 BC (target) 2009 AD First count back from 2009 to 0 – how many years? Now count back from 1200 to 0 …. Sound like 1200? I hope you all got 2009 ! Now just add the two: 1200 + 2009 = 3209 So…1200 BC was 3200 years ago ! Simple right?
