Guest Lord General MB Posted January 1, 2001 Share Posted January 1, 2001 Soldiers, Maximus is right.

I tried looking up what the Latin term is, but can not find it anywhere. Typed in "A.D." in an Internet search and didn't find anything remotely related.

Pvt. Ryan Posted January 1, 2001 Share Posted January 1, 2001 I believe the Latin phrase is Anno Domini, although I am not sure about the spelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enfors Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 Bottom line: This millennium started Jan 1st, 2001. A.D. means "Anno Domino" ("The year of our Lord"). Jesus was born in year 1 A.D (and died about 33 A.D, I believe). And for the love of God, "millennium" is spelled with two Ns! And it's "one millennium, many millennia". -Enfors- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His system was not based on an accurate date of Christ's birth, which most scholars have determined to have taken place somewhat earlier (4-7 BCE are the figures I remember seeing). In effect, the new millennium started a couple of years ago. [This message has been edited by Marlow (edited 01-02-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allow me to enlighten you: Time is an illusion... Lunchtime doubly so. And In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. And lastly There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexeplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. ------------------ To the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee...
