Question 112 (iii)
Social Studies Application remembering that 1 AD came immediately after 1 BC, while solving following problems take 1 BC as -1 and 1 AD as +1
Turks ruled Egypt in the year 1517 AD and Queen Nefertis ruled Egypt about 2900 years, before the Turks ruled. In what year did she rule?
Year in which Queen Nefertis ruled = Year in which Turks ruled - 2900 yr
= (1517 AD) - 2900
= (+ 1517) - 2900
= -1383 = 1383 BC
Hence, Queen Nefertis ruled in the year 1383 BC.
