The 6th century BC started on the first day of 600 BC and ended on the last day of 501 BC. In Western Asia, the first half of this century was dominated by the Neo-Babylonian Empire, which had risen to power late in the previous century after successfully rebelling against Assyrian rule.

CE is an abbreviation for Common Era. It means the same as AD (Anno Domini) and represents the time from year 1 and onward. BCE is short for Before Common Era. It can be used instead of BC (Before Christ) and stands for the time before year 1. There was never a year zero.

The 6th millennium BC spanned the years 6000 BC to 5001 BC (c. 8 ka to c. 7 ka). It is impossible to precisely date events that happened around the time of this millennium and all dates mentioned here are estimates mostly based on geological and anthropological analysis.

What BCE and CE mean, and how they differ from BC/AD. BCE and CE stand for 'Before Common Era' and 'Common Era' respectively. The former means the same as BC and the latter is the same as AD. Thus, AD 1 and 1 CE mean the same year. These terms were first used during the 17th century.
