  Common Era - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The notations CE and BCE (Before the Common Era or Before the Christian Era) are alternative notations for AD (anno Domini, Latin for "in the year of the Lord") and BC (Before Christ), respectively.
CE and BCE came into use in the last few decades, perhaps originally in Ancient Near Eastern studies, where (a) there are many Jewish scholars and (b) dating according to a Christian era is irrelevant.
When BC was changed to BCE in one examination question in New South Wales, Australia in early 2005, it prompted questions and protestations of offence in both chambers of the State Parliament, and the State Education Minister stated in Parliament that the change should not have been made.

Near the end of the 2nd millennium BC, new waves of barbarians, riding on horseback this time, wholly destroyed the Bronze Age world, and were to be followed by waves of social changes that marked the beginning of very different times.

 Abbeys Bookshop - Twilight of Ancient Egypt: First Millenium BCE
The author surveys a turbulent time in Ancient Egyptian culture and history - the 800 years between the 11th century BC and the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great in 332 BC, after which Egypt became part of the Hellenistic world.
It was a time when Libyans, Kushites, Persians and Greeks ascended to the throne more frequently than did indigenous kings in a phase of pharaonic Egypt marked by rapid changes in rule.Egypt had become increasingly involved in the affairs of its Near Eastern neighbours (Assyria, Babylon and Persia) and of the Mediterranean world.
Karol Mysliwiec perceives in recent archaeological discoveries clear evidence that the first millennium BC was witness to more than a slow, progressive dying out of the pharaoic past; new and creative elements profoundly altered the culture of Ancient Egypt.Originally published in Polish, the text appeared in a German edition in 1998.

Beth Shean was a central site that was occupied almost uninterruptedly from the 4th millennium BCE to the Byzantine Period.
Within this long-lived sequence, of paramount importance was the period of the Egyptian 19th and 20th Dynasties (13th-12th centuries BCE), when Beth Shean served as the seat of an Egyptian garrison, complete with an imposing governor’s residence and rich material culture, including inscriptions, statuary and objects that reflected this presence, alongside the indigenous Canaanite culture.

Many believe that Judaism in Biblical Israel was renovated and reformed to some extent in the 6th century BCE by Ezra and other priests returning to Israel from the exile.
Other major splits were the East-West Schism in the 11th century, which separated the Eastern Orthodox Churches, and the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century, which eventually gave birth to hundreds of independent Protestant denominations.

 UJC - ISRAEL21c: Israeli Expedition to Unlock Mystery of Human Origins
The transition from bronze to iron around the beginning of the first millennium BCE brought many advantages: warriors gained fiercer weapons and chariots; farmers stronger ploughs, scythes and sickles; and craftsmen sturdier hammers and chisels.
A 9th-century BCE iron forge, complete with hearths, tools, raw material, slag and hundreds of iron items, was unearthed in Beih-Shemesh, near Jerusalem, by two researchers at TAU's Nadler Institute of Archaeology.
Recent excavations at Beih Shemesh reveal that the transformation of the site from a large unfortified village in the 12-11th centuries BCE into a well-organized administrative center in the 10th and 9th centuries BCE provide archaeological confirmation of the emerging monarchy in Judah.
