	The difference between the Millennium and year 2000
		The reason why the 3rd Millennium / 21st Century starts in 2001 is because there was no year 0 (or AD 0, 0 BC).
		Because one Millennium is 1000 years, the first Millennium ends with year 1000.

		Primitive counting systems were almost certainly based on using the fingers of one or both hands, as evidenced by the predominance of the numbers 5 and 10 as the bases for most number systems today.
		There mathematics was dominated by arithmetic, with an emphasis on measurement and calculation in geometry and with no trace of later mathematical concepts such as axioms or proofs.
		By the time of the astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century ad Greek mastery of numerical procedures had progressed to the point where Ptolemy was able to include in his Almagest a table of chords in a circle for steps of y°, which, although expressed sexagesimally, is accurate to about five decimal places.

	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 counting system used in 6th century Rome did not include the concept of "zero." The idea of "zero" was unknown to Dionysius.

	About Calendars (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The primary reason for these web pages is to explain why January 1, 2001 is the beginning of the 3rd millennium and January 1, 2000 is not, which was overly hyped by the media and celebrated by many as the beginning of the new millennium.
		The reference point for our current calendar is 0 (BC or AD) which is not a year put a single point in time separating the end of BC year 1 from the beginning of AD year 1.
		The relationship of the birth of Jesus Christ to the Gregorian calendar occurred in the 6th century and His birth is believed to be several years before AD 1 (maybe 4 BC).

	Is this the new millennium? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It is perhaps as well to remember that the hype which surrounds the millennium, to be celebrated either in AD 2000 or 2001, is around the millennium associated with only one calendar.
		If the date of the millennium varies for different people, what does have a similarity of meaning is that which we associate with the concept: the millennium as the end of a major period of time and the beginning of another.
		What is essential to the millennium is not merely a play on calendrical numbers but the hope that the period holds for the oppressed to be relieved of their oppression.

	The dating game: Beginning of 21st century a divisive issue
		Millennium is a Latin word (the plural is millennia), and loosely translated, means a period of 1,000 years.
		As explained by Peter Meyer, a millennium means "a period of 1,000 years," but no part of the definition says that a millennium must begin or end with a particular year number.
		Adding to the confusion was that Roman date keepers originally misunderstood Caesar’s instructions, and counted every third year, rather than every fourth, as a leap year.

	When Did the New Millennium Begin?
		Most experts in calendrical matters will answer that the new millennium begins on the 1st of January in the year 2001, despite the fact that this answer is not the one that most people would like to hear (because, despite what the experts say, they intend to celebrate the new millennium on 1st January 2000).
		The word "millennium" means "a period of 1000 years" so we can conclude that the period from 1 A.D. through 1000 A.D. (including both years) constituted one millennium, and in fact, the first millennium of the Christian era.
		Strictly speaking, there is no first millennium in the astronomical system, since it simply numbers years by mapping them onto the sequence..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2,..., and we are free to begin millennia where we think fit.
