For Pacific Islands, the period AD 750 to 1300 was a climatic optimum marked by warm temperature, high sea level, and probable aridity (Nunn and Britton 2001; Nunn 2003).
Across the Pacific Islands, the period AD 1270-1475 was a transition interval, often called the "AD 1300 event" (Nunn 2000).

 Lex Scripta
Most likely, it was the English cleric and historical scholar, the Venerable Bede, who started using the abbreviation AD (Anno Domini, or "Year of our Lord") when applying the system devised by Dennis, thereby popularising the assumption that the year 1 AD was the year in which the historical personage of Jesus Christ was born.
And even accepting that the year 1 AD had no particular historical or religious significance, other than as the year arbitrarily chosen more than five centuries later as the starting-point for an obscure Scythian monk's calculations, its 2000th anniversary will occur on 1 January 2001.
What makes this even sadder is that today's "millennium madness" is not the result of sincere and devout (albeit misguided) religious zeal, but of the commercial zealotry of people determined to make some fast money.

 Come the Millennium, Where the University?
At the beginning of the 12th century, Irnerius taught Roman law at Bologna and, by the middle of the century, Paris had emerged as a center for logic and theology.
The emergence of the western university, beginning roughly with the second millennium AD and associated first with Bologna, Paris, Montpellier, Oxford, and a few other cities is indeed a millenarian phenomenon that, while it has not led to the rule of saints, has contributed much to the improvement of the human condition.
Especially the quest for "applications," for research that is "targeted," has been pressed on universities from the beginning of the millennium to the American land-grant universities of the 19th century and, of course, contemporary views worldwide that universities should be engines for economic progress.

When the German crusaders and tradesmen arrived on the scene in the 12th and 13th century, the interests of Germans and Russians collided in the Baltic region, and the effort to impose Christianity on indigenous populations was pursued most actively by the Roman Catholic crusaders who had come from the West.

 The Millennium in the Light of Anthroposophy
There is also the question, from a theological viewpoint, whether we should be dating the millennium from the birth of Jesus or from his Resurrection.
One can say therefore that the 4th, 7th, 14th and 21st centuries correspond respectively to the incarnation of the earthly (physically oriented) ego of the new humanity, to the freeing of its etheric (life) body, its astral (feeling) body and the incarnation of its higher self (Ego).
In this sense, therefore, the millennium is based not on any decimal-based chronology but on the life of Christ.

 2000 or 2001 What year does the third millennium really begin?
Or perhaps the first millennium was short a year due to the primitive math at the time.
That means the third millennium really begins on January 12th, 2001 at 6:00am Bethlehem time rather than on January 1st 2001 at midnight.
Therefore it makes more sense to me to say, since the beginning of the calendar is arbitrary, that the third millennium starts on January 1st 2000 and that the first millennium was a year short and the second millennium was 11 days short and now we have it right.

 2000AD vs. 12000CT
If more and more of us start using CT, then civilization will eventually be able to rid ourselves of the AD impostor, a legacy from their induced Dark Ages when there was no copyright law and the christian church could audaciously plagiarize the creativity of much older cultures, especially the Egyptians and Sumerians of Mesopotamia.
His AD system was for the next 1200 years mainly used for internal religious records.
The lead up to the 12th millennium turnover since we began the ascent of civilization, will focus lots of attention on the year counting system, creating a fertile atmosphere for the promotion of CT -- as a catalyst for that overdue 'Enlightenment Revolution'.

 Astronomy Boy: Millennium 2001 -- The REAL start of the New Millennium
The new millennium, as defined by the Gregorian Calendar used in most of the world, actually began on January 1, 2001, not January 1, 2000.
This is sometimes called the "odometer effect" because many automobile owners perceive the rollover of their mileage indicators to include a long string of zeroes as a milestone of sorts.
The Gregorian Calendar Reform, as it came to be called, retained Dionysius' starting point of 1 AD and his system of counting the years, including its lack of a Year Zero.

The Hittite kingdom of the mid second millennium BC was one of the major early iron producing centers and was thought to have a monopoly of iron production, and iron production became widespread in Greece and the Mediterranean by the beginning of the 1st millennium BC.
Iron seems to have been used in India from about the late second millennium BC and iron smelting and the use of iron was especially well established in the south Indian megalithic cultures of this period.
Arsenical copper was also in use in Mesopotamia, prior to the use of tin bronzes, of which the most famous and extraordinary examples are the bronze bulls of the third millennium BC where the enrichment of arsenic at the surface is found to give it a shiny coating.

The question of which year is the first year of the millennium hinges on the date of the first year AD.
The one thousandth year was 1000 AD and the first day of the second millennium was 1001 AD.
The year 2000 AD will certainly be celebrated, as is natural for a year with such a round number but, accurately speaking, we will be celebrating the 2000th year or the last year of the millennium, not the start of the new millennium.

The painted ware of the 4th millennium, with geometric and animal figures on red, brown, and buff bodies, was not of the same high standard.
The Seljuk dynasty that ruled Iran, Iraq, Asia Minor, and Syria in the 12th and 13th centuries found substitutes for porcelain, and the Iranian cities of Rayy and Kāshān became centers for this white ware.
There, the Chavín style (which reached its height from about 800 bc to about 400 bc), with its jaguar motifs, was succeeded in the Classic period (1st millennium ad) by one of the finest pre-Columbian potteries, that of the Mochica culture of the north coast.

For more a millennium the policy we know as Arakan existed as a culturally strategic border state, the only state in Southeast Asia to be connected to India by both land and sea routes.
Positioned as it was on the sea route around the Bay of Bengal, Arakan was also subjected to the influence of the cultures of southern and western India, and in particular to Sri Lanka, which as the most important Buddhist polity in the region has a significant impact on the religious development of the state.
As contact with the wider region increased in the early centuries of the first millennium AD the economy diversified, urban centres developed and a more complex social structure developed.

 The Enterprise Mission - Millenium
Things stayed pretty much the same until 527 AD, when Dionysius Exiguus instituted the so-called "Christian Era." He overturned the Julian practice of dating back to 4713 BC, and established the BC and AD dating system.
The 3rd Millennium would roll over just as the sacred star, Sirius/Isis was transiting the Giza meridian and the Church had for the most part succeeded in keeping this crucial "secret" to itself.
For example: for the year 2012 A.D., we add 20 to 12, and get 32 A.D. This system is easy to understand, and has the added bonus that it elegantly grounds the entire calendar in the traditional 33-year life of Jesus.

By the 13th century, there is firm evidence of the rise of a significant Tamil-Hindu social formation in the Jaffna Peninsula, complete with a Hindu king and a palace, in the aftermath of the collapse of the Sinhala Kingdoms in the dry zone areas.
There were repeated wars between the Sinhalese and Indian invaders, and for much of the first millennium AD the island was controlled by various Tamil princes.
The "golden age" of the Sri Lankan kingdom was in the 12th century, when the Sinhalese King, Parakrama Bahu, united the whole island under his rule.
