I just saw a video about BC/AD as opposed to BCE/CE and the invention of the Gregorian calendar and I wondered what year it would be if we counted the years like the Romans did.

What the fuck are you on and why are you up and down haunting this man like re-fuckin-lax girl.

Second, 4241BC is the oldest on the Egyptian calendar, it literally says that on the link. So a Christian preacher interested in the study of Egypt thought about how human history is recorded and chose 4241BC as the start point because the Egyptian calendar starts there.

You didn't even read the link you're just trying to discredit because you're pissy for god knows why.

Shut up, somebody needs to do a little reading AT FUCKIN ALL
