So when was “the period between about 2,000 B.P. and 900 B.P.?” B.C. & A.D. have been destroyed by anti-Christian political correctness and was replaced by “BCE” and “CE” Now do we have a new time, and when is the base year? I figure some one will declare it is the number of years before today, thus having an ever shifting date for things in the past.

Yeah, this "Before Present" dating bugs me, too.
