I always get a chuckle whenever anyone mentions “years” as a time reference in these scenarios.
What was a “year” before earth’s orbit around the sun existed?

To measure something, we first have to agree on a unit, a year is as good as any other.
It's for our own purposes. Aliens would have other units.
BC dates never existed, they are just backwards extrapolations of our current calendar.
This is not much different.
