Seventh century BCE, not AD!
- egberts1 3y agoAbout the same as whether cheesecake is a cake … or not.
- trackflak 3y agoSeventh century BC if we want to be more accurate.
- mrlonglong 3y agoNope, you'll upset people using different calendars. BCE, Before Common Era.

- mcphage 3y agoHow is "BC" more accurate than "BCE"?
- trackflak 3y agoThe 'C' in BC reflects what event makes the era 'common', 'common era' is meaningless on its own. Whether or not you're religious, the birth of Christ is a convenient starting point for the western ('Gregorian' - who is Gregory?) calendar.
