Can Someone Explain what CE means? It's used in dates in the animus hub

[grizz]

I know what AC/BC mean with regards to dates, but Ubisoft is using this CE and I have no clue why it's used instead of AC to identify dates post the year 0.

[paflanagan]

In time notations, "CE" stands for "Common Era," which is the same as AD (Anno Domini). It represents years after the traditional birth of Jesus Christ, while "BCE" stands for "Before Common Era," which is the secular equivalent of "BC" (Before Christ) and represents years before the traditional birth of Jesus Christ

P.S.............Google is your friend.

Lmao…is that like woke speak to get rid of historic christian references? Leave it to ubisoft to woke speak for no reason. What the hell does common era mean? Isn’t the year 0, the year 0 because of christ’s birth?

What?
It was originally BC (Before Christ) AD (Anno Domini) but then around mid 19th century it started changing and then by 2007 the world almanac updated it

Some still use BC/AD some use BCE/CE depending on academics and scientific contexts

If you want to say BC/AD go right ahead, literally nothing stopping you.

Because the ‘world almanac’ something no one anywhere knows about or reads changes a historic terminology to culturally erase ad/bc all of the sudden it’s globally accepted? Well then i declare i that i am the world almanac 2 and change it back.

No one uses this ‘common era’ garbage. I’ve never seen it before ubisoft enlgihtened me with their game.

Broadly, yes. But "Common Era" was introduced - and oddly enough, embraced by several Christian scholars - to facilitate work with non-Christian scholars, making it a reference point more easily understood by those outside Christendom.

BCE is for those of us that don't think "Noahs Ark" is true

Or question if it was an exodus or expulsion from Ancient Egypt

Well, it wasn't really Noah's ark any more than the tabernacle was Moses' tabernacle. It was just something he built by instruction and then utilized as instructed.

As to the exodus/expulsion question, it's the same thing. Exodus is literally just "procession" or "departure". When you're expelled, you depart, and when there's a large number of you, it happens as a procession.

Don't let your hatred of Christianity blind you to God to such an extent that you think you have to use wordplay to dismiss Scripture. Because here's the trick: Christianity is way off base about almost everything in those Scriptures.

Did you know God is one and Jesus is a man who serves Him? Did you know hell isn't a place of neverending fire? Did you know you don't go to heaven or hell when you die? Did you know that you, right now, sir atheist, are destined for life inexhaustible in glorious peace strictly because God sees fit to give it, and not because you chose it (clearly you didn't, so how could it be anyway)?

You probably didn't. Because Christianity doesn't teach any of these things. But Scripture does.

[RedCelt]

I have no hatred. Again. your ability for extreme and dramatic language is evident.

Do you think questioning the validity of Noahs Ark = hatred ?

Ran, rant, rant.


Hail the rebirth of the Sun God Ra

Hail the Goddess Hathor




As I said, for those of us that don't believe Noahs Ark is true,
BTW
Exodus means you decide to leave. Expulsion means told to leave. MASSIVE difference.

Also for those of us that question why we are told to follow an obscure raider storm god ?

There are a lot of different calendars around on this planet, the Christian (i.e. the Gregorian calendar) is just one out of many - and to many people around this planet it is also totally irrelevant whether it's CE, AD, BCE or whatever in use in the Christian world.

In 2015, out of a world population of roughly 7,5 billion people, only 2,3 billion were Christians (of all denominations combined).

Which shows that the concept of god, scripture, canon of one person could be totally meaningless for another person.

Nothing to do with "woke speak" at all.

Ah, I see. Fear, then. Well you're right to fear Christianity and its lies, and you're also right to fear God, but I suspect your fear has been twisted by the lies of Christianity. Whether hatred, fear, or simple apathy, atheists will be among the happiest of us when they realize what we've been freely given, and I'll hope to find you and celebrate with you in that day when the ages have concluded.

Until then, you'll believe or disbelieve as God wills. I can only give you the good news, I can't give belief.

I misinterpreted your general belligerence towards Scriptural concepts to be hatred. I apologize. I myself know hatred isn't the only reason for stubbornness, I shouldn't have assumed. (For me it was also fear, and these days it's pride.)

But now for the reason I actually replied into the void a response that you won't ever see: You've enkindled my linguistic ire.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/exodus#Latin

ἔξοδος (éxodos, “expedition, procession, departure”)

The etymology of ἔξοδος is: "From ἐξ- (ex-, “out”) +‎ ὁδός (hodós, “path, road”)."

It's used in the sense of...

1. Departure, leaving
2. A way out, exit
3. Divorce
4. End, close
5. Death

There's nothing in here about impetus. It can refer to a forced or willing departure. In fact, its colloquial uses include both: Divorce is a willing departure, but death is an unwilling expulsion from life.

You do know the Scripture itself states that Pharaoh expelled them, right? The story goes that they asked to leave, and by God's will (yes, even temporary evil is God's will!), Pharaoh refused. Plagues occurred (look up the Ipuwer Papyrus if you want to hear it from the Egyptians), and then Pharaoh basically said "GET THE ♥♥♥♥ OUT OF MY LAND, YOU AND YOUR GOD."

He'd have wanted them gone anyway so they didn't add their number to the Hyksos if it came ot all-out war. So yeah, absolutely they were expelled, and the Scriptures say as much. The only reason the Latin scholars called the story "Exodus" is because of ἔξοδος.

They used it in Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla and I believe it goes back even further

Remember the Assassins started as Muslims and have never been Christians so why would they use Christian nomenclature? The bad guys are the Christians so the Templars (AKA Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ) probably use AD and BC ......

Here it is used in the opening 60 seconds of Origins

https://youtu.be/YuWzW7eXk7s?list=PLkdqp16ufvSl1ffrAd2IIYhwRQhI1bhcJ

Here it is being used in the first 60 seconds of Odyssey

https://youtu.be/GD2cKSru57Q?list=PLkdqp16ufvSmNh-rghHLyvuedc0NIWM0e


This is why you dorks have no credibility when you complain about nonsense like this ....... or historical accuracy in AC games (none of them are) like it's something new and woke when it predates this woke nonsense you whine about by years

[The Former]

Yeah I'm with longjohn here, at least as far as "it's been used before" goes.
