Timeline Maker

Learn How it works

• Chronological order means in time order, oldest first.
• BCE (Before Common Era) years count down toward year 1, and CE years count up. 500 BCE is earlier than 100 BCE. There is no year 0.
• A good timeline entry has a date, a short title, and one sentence on why it matters.
