Asked on 4 Jan 2013 AD, so 31688 years ago it would have been:
2013 AD - 31688 = -29675 AD
Negative AD dates are BC, but when Dionysius Exiguus devised the AD/BC calendar (in the year 247 Anno Diocletiani, which he called 531 AD) zero (0) had not been invented, so 1 AD was preceeded by 1 BC, so -29675 AD becomes 29,676 BC.
