The Calendar today (after an update in the 16th century) was established in 525 when the old, inaccurate Roman Calendar was reformed. Old dates were reassigned as new ones. Therefore was no year 0, the year passed from 1 BC to 1 AD, but this was only so designated 525 years after the event.

Confusing things calendars.

so now i will look into the old roman

calendar.. dont know how good it will be

if its faulty.. but maybe ill get another lead from there

thanks

 

You mean there wasn't a big hullabaloo in the Roman empire about running out of years like we had back in '99

Loving dates as I do I've tried to get my head round the various calendar reforms, but it's all rather complicated. All I know is that if you see a date prior to 525 you can be sure it was not called that at the time. 

i got some tips where to look from here

from roman times if this was our calendar today there are only 363 days in a year.

like for example (AD-1) to  (AD-2008) less 2 days a year. is 2016

days making this the roman calendar year  1997

so everyone just got 11 years yunger

 

 

 

I don't know if it was a monk, but someone within a couple centuries made a famous mistake in the counting. If it comes to me, I'll post it.

Dionysius Exiguus, a monk given the job in 525 of writing up a new calendar and pinpointing the date of Jesus' crucifixion. Not an easy task, so it's not surprising he got it slightly wrong.

I remember reading the he was off by 2-3 years how this can be figured working with probably fewer records than the man himself had is itself hard to figure.

what i was hoping to do is find the final year of (BC)

but (BC) final year was replaced with (BC-1)

but now  i see this is impossable being we are all

from NOAH.

 

what is of intrist is how 100 years ago. we all were still in the same category as the old roman days with
the horse and carriage the same way of life as 2000 years ago. and from there all of a sudden we get more knlwledge
and invent the car. then electricity. the computer. TV.
and im wondering why this sudden out of nowhere technology in one life time after millions of years living the old way. in less then 100 years we went from the horse and buggy to landing on the moon. this has to be some kind of a miracle.

and i was born befor the tv. and i saw all these changes. the only thing

we had new when i was born was the car. finding the final year in (BC) is

impossable. but i witnessed the suden  miracle of technology

and this tells me it was ment for a event that is suposed to happen

 

 

Hello Bow. Ain't seen you for a while.

I suggest that inventions build of themselves. I.e. cheap steel gives us economically viable steel ships' hulls which can bear the weight of engines.

Lightweight transistors give us air to air missiles etc etc.

It is a truisim that 98point something % of inventions have occurred after 1899. And 98% of them by Scotsmen.

OK Snow, only joking. To you, 97% last offer my boy.
