  3rd millennium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The third millennium is the third period of one thousand years in the Common Era.
As the millennium currently in progress, only its first decade, the 2000s, can be the subject of the historian's attention, the remaining part of the 21st century (such as the predicted stagnation of world population at some 10 billion in the 2050s) and longer-term trends being the province of futures studies.
Some millennialists and Christian anarchists predict the third millennium will be the millennium of peace, when mankind finally learns to live in harmony with each other and nature.

This date, at which Krishna is supposed to have breathed his last, is conventionally the start of the so­called Kali­Yuga, the "age of strife", the low point in a declining sequence of four ages.
Against this modernist opinion, Bailly and Playfair had already shown that the position of the moon (the fastest­moving "planet", hence the hardest to back­calculate with precision) at the beginning of Kali­Yuga, 18 February 3102, as given by Hindu tradition, was accurate to 37'.

 Blather Archives: About that Millennium. . .
He's quick to ram home the understanding that the millennium is not something that will happen in a couple of years time -- that the millennium is an arbitrary period of 1000 years, not an event that will take place on some December 31st.
Gould expands on this, explaining that if each decade has to have 10 years (in the case of Dionysius, that goes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10), and every century is to have 100 years, year 100 becomes stuck in that century, and the dawn of a new century is on January 1st 101.
A pleasant read, but I fear that the only people who will read 'Questioning the Millennium' are already wearing their 'I am a Millennial Cynic' t-shirts, where as those who would benefit the most from a brief perusal have been happily whisked along in the pre-millennial stampede of hope and faith.

 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.

This date, at which Krishna is supposed to have breathed his last, is conventionally the start of the so-called Kali-Yuga, the "age of strife", the low point in a declining sequence of four ages.
A slightly subtler approach is to explain it away, as is done by Romila Thapar, who affirms her belief in "the generally accepted chronology that the Rig-Vedic hymns were composed over a period extending from about 1500 to 1000 BC".
On p.111, we find that Bentley has "proven" that Krishna was born on 7 August in AD 600 (the most conservative estimate elsewhere is the 9th century BC), and on p.158 ff., that Varaha Mihira (AD 510-587) was a contemporary of the Moghul emperor Akbar (r.1556-1605).

he speculates that many people were thinking that this might be the millennium spoken of in some biblical interpretations -- this is generally incorrect, given that many people didn't realise what year it was, and other dominant cultures didn't use the now-standard Christian-inspired calendar.
Erdoes often opts for the historically-incorrect but true to the mindset rendering of history -- as in the most ancient of times, sometimes the truth of a civilisation can be told more from its mythology than from its simple history.
