  8. Think and answer • Why did we put our names in the middle?

  9. Calendars • Different cultures in the world have created different calendars to count time and events.

  10. Calendars • Some are lunar (based on the moon) and some are solar (based on the sun) .

  11. Hindu Calendar • People started counting from the event of their Lord Krishna’s return to his home.

  12. Buddhist Calendar • People started counting years from the event of Buddha’s death.

  13. How to Read Timelines • The purpose of a timeline is to show chronological (time) relationship between events 2014BC 1000 BC 1 BC 0 1 AD 1000AD 2014AD More Ancient (old) More Recent (new)

  14. Terms to know • B.C. = Before Christ / or B.C.E. = Before Common Era • Any time before the year zero • Higher the number the older the date • A.D = After Death / C.E. = Common Era • Any time after the year zero • Higher the number the more modern (recent) the date

  15. This will help …

  16. What Century are we in? • Another tricky History trap is that Centuries are always expressed as 1 ahead of the actual numerical year • This is because the year 1 AD is considered the beginning of the 1st Century. • For example: Always take out the zeros
