What happened 2010 years ago?

[West1]

Its 2010, so what happened 2010 years ago? Dinos were alive longer than that so what happened in the year Zero?

I asked this Q to a couple friends and no one had an answer.

Can someone give me an Educated Guess?

x2 Our calander is based on a religious happening.... so a birth happened (supposidly) 2009 years and one month ago, or santa came for the first time or something :0

B.C. - Before Christ.
A.D. - AD actually stands for the Latin phrase "anno domini" which means "in the year of our Lord."

The B.C. / A.D. dating system is not taught in the Bible. It actually was not fully implemented and accepted until several centuries after Jesus' death.

Let me rephrase that... I did get some answers but they sounded like it just popped in their head why.

First of all, there was no "year zero." The correct term for it is 1 BC, or 1 AD if that's what you're looking for.

Well, I can imagine sometime significant happened that made scholars start keeping track of years. Probably something religious, because that's all that scholars were back then; religious philosophers.

What I've been told to believe is that on year 1, Jesus was born, or something along those lines. Since I'm not really into that kind of stuff, I think it was actually the conception of the bible.

Oh, so it does have to do with Christ. I thought so but was thrown off by some of the guesses I got. Just never got a solid answer

hmmm good question, i actually studdied that Jesus was born like 5-6 B.C....

but The exact day of Jesus' birth is difficult to establish beyond all doubt..

Thats a very interesting theory
