How so? The first century surely started with year 0, the first year. Just like a person is zero years old during its first year. And years 0-99 make up the first century. Then the second century starts at 100-199, and so on. 🤷♂️
there is no year 0 we started at 1.
There is no year 1 in our current calendar system either. The Gregorian Calendar begins in 1582. The Julian Calendar includes year 1, but changed in year 8, so 0001-01-01 is a slightly different day in the Gregorian Calendar, the Julian Calendar, and the old Julian Calendar. 2000 years after Julian Calendar 0001-01-01 is late December 2000.
This has less meaning in China because China used its own calendar until 1911. People living in China 2000 years before 2001-01-01 would not have called it year 1.
Babies don’t start at 1.
You should have told that to those guys 2025 years ago.
In many Asian countries they do if I am not mistaken but it irrelevant to when the millennium starts anyway

Looked it up now, you’re correct.
Although there are instances of year zero, like with astronomical years.
