| | About the 3rd. Millennium |
 | | Starting from ground zero, the first year of the millennium was completed on December 31, Year Zero, or, in other words, on January 1, Year 1, exactly one year had been completed. |
 | | Following this logic, the first century was complete as of January 1, A.D. 100, the first millennium as of January 1, A.D. 1000, and the second millennium as of January 1, 2000. |
 | | Thus, by most accounts the second millennium from the birth of Christ was, in all cases, concluded by December 31st, 1997. |
