    Because the dates are 1990BC and 1995BC.

    He time travelled from 1985 to 1995 then when he was 15, he travelled back to 1990.

    That's aside from the obvious BC answer.

    The years are counted B.C. Therefore the person was born in 2005 B.C., was 5 years old in 2000 B.C., 10 in 1995 B.C., and 15 in 1990 B.C.

    The person was living in the time called "BC", which means Before Christ. In that ancient time, as the years go by, it will lessen instead of being added upon. Like:

    1995=15years old

    1994=16years old

    1993=17years old

    Sort of like that.
