rosends - they didn't mean 2001, they meant the year 1, as in the first year of the Biblical Christ's life, supposedly.
Actually, that brings up another question: we count years as BC (before christ) and AD (after death)... What do they consider the years that he actually lived - a standstill in time? A Vampiric "blink" of sorts emcompassing all of humanity?
Others like myself have taken to using more logical terms for the years: BCE (before common era) and CE (common era). Why was Christ the turning point in calendar counting? Why are we, as a modern society, FORCED to be unified in the confines of a Christian calendar when the world's peoples are decidedly NOT ALL Christian?
Damnit I hate when things make me think that hard!

I think it was the Birth of Jesus after I look it up duh. So I guess the Christian Era is before the Early Middle Ages but after Classical Age but is not on the timeline of historic periods in the Scholastic Children's Encyclopedia.
