Seriously? Does it represent the same period as BC/AD?
If so, to what event does it attribute the significance of that period?
Yes, BCE/CE were created to replace BC/AD.
From what I understand CE was originally an abbreviation for ‘Christian Era’ but was changed to ‘Common Era’ so that the word ‘Christian’ would not need to be explained.
It’s a coverup and worse it’s a revisionist encroachment on Christian heritage.
