Lol, the joke is just that this is the inverse of how this meme usually works, since counting backwards in BC is forward in time.

My man I think he was making a joke by pretending that the inversion is so obvious he was trying to understand the joke

I get that, but I don’t get the joke. Is the joke that after bows were invented, people started using them?

The joke is that the format of this is normally

  • Thing began in X
  • People in X - 1

So when you first see it you’re like “haha, but wait that’s a bow…” then you remember “ah yes, it’s BC”

It’s a meta meme, playing off of the format that usually has people doing something silly before the time something was invented. But it’s backwards because it’s BC.

I think the joke is that people who don’t know how years work would think 4999 BC was before 5000.
