500 BCE was 2521 years ago. This calculation is based on the current year, which is 2021 CE (Common Era). To determine the number of years between 500 BCE and 2021 CE, you subtract 500 from 2021, resulting in 1521 years. However, you need to add an additional 1000 years to account for the difference between BCE and CE dating systems, resulting in a total of 2521 years.

Note: If using the modern calendar in the Western world, you must add '1' to the above as Denis the Little omitted it when revising the calendar for the Pope.
