There was no year A.D. zero (0), it started with A.D. one (1), and one and a thousand is 1001 and another thousand would be 2001, its very simple. We are ending the 20th century and beginning the 21st century, for the same reason. There is no year AD 0, we start with AD 1. Lets blame it all on "Dennis the Short (Humble)", also called Dionyslus Exiguus, who created the christian calendar for Pope John 1st, in order to get rid of the Roman calendar created by Julius Caesar. Then along comes the monk Bebe, who invented the B.C. thing for the years Before Christ, and Bebe forgot to put a year zero between B.C.1 and A.D.1. Back in those days people counted by starting with one, two, three, four, and so on. After all, if you had cows or sheep you numbered the animals one, two, three, etc. Can`t have a zero cow or zero sheep. The latest research shows that Jesus was born on April 17, four years before A.D.1 or in the year B.C.4, (17 April B.C.4) so the millenium was really four years ago. :-) Try reading the new book "The Star of Bethlehem: The Legacy of the Magi", a very scholarly work by Michael Molnar. He is an astroarchaeologist. The book is hailed as the most revolutionary work since Kepler by Sky and Telescope magazine.
