  between two points in history consider this
• When moving between two dates in the same era
  (300 C.E and 500 C.E) or (600 B.C.E and 200

Moving through Historical Time

• When trying to calculate how much time has passed
  between two points in history consider this
• When moving between two dates from different
  eras (300 B.C.E. to 300 C.E) you add the two
  numbers together.
• Why Add? 300 to 0 PLUS 0 to 300 600
