However, based on evolutionary biology, the first anatomically modern human female would have been part of a population of early Homo sapiens in Africa around 200,000 years ago. This hypothetical woman would have been a member of a community of hunter-gatherers and would have played a crucial role in the survival and development of early human societies.

Oh, dude, it's like this - senatorial provinces were controlled by the Roman Senate, while imperial provinces were under the direct control of the emperor. So, it's kind of like the Senate had their own little sandbox to play in, and the emperor had his own bigger sandbox with all the cool toys. But hey, at the end of the day, they were all just provinces in the Roman Empire, am I right?

In actual history, a city called Hamunaptra (City of the Dead Man) was found in India in the 1850s when British engineers, trying to build a railroad, pillaged the area for bricks. In the 1920s, archaeologists began serious excavations. They found at the site a lost civilization occupying an area greater than that of Pakistan. It was a complex, literate, urbanized, centrally located society. Raw materials located in the area indicated that the civilization had long-distance trade with Mesopotamia. The civilization ended between 1900 and 1700 BC, which archaeologists accredit to a new group of horse-riding invaders. However, there is no evidence to prove any hypothesis of why the civilization might have become extinct

Oh, what a happy little question! BC stands for "Before Christ," and it helps us count the years before the birth of Jesus. So, in a way, BC does go backwards in time, helping us understand history and how far back events occurred. Just like painting, understanding time can be a beautiful journey of discovery.

Mango in Sanskrit is आम्रफलम्

No equivalent word in Sanskrit

years were numbered to count backward to indicate the number of years an event had occurred “before Christ” or “B.C.”
