History has been recorded with the use of many calendars, but the one that is most widely used today is based on a Christian calculation (probably several years off) of the birth of Jesus. The method of dating in relation to that event now uses the terms
Common Era
, or
CE
, for the time after Jesus’s birth and
BCE
for the years before the Common Era.
