    the template is normaly showing people before something was invented.

    but BC years are a countdown instead of an incrementing year number.

    so the joke is that 8000 bc is before 7999 bc and the hammer has already been invented

      Oh, I’m not familiar with the template so I didn’t know that’s what the joke was about.
