That just sounds like Anno Mundi with extra steps. :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_Mundi 1. Pick an epoch date so far in the past that nothing of interest could possibly have taken place before it. 2. ??? 3. Profit! The two problems with this idea are, first, that everyone argues about the exact value of the epoch; and second, that something always ends up having happened before that. You can also invert the scheme, to get the Before Present system. This has the same two problems (s/before/after/). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Before_Present |
