Think about it..
The first decade started at year 1, and lasted through year 10, and
the second decade started at year 11.
Likewise, the first century started at year 1, and lasted through year
100, and the second century started at year 101.
Following this same logic, it's easy to see that the date spans of the
first three millenniums are as follows:
| First Millennium |
Years 1 - 1000 |
| Second Millennium |
Years 1001 - 2000 |
| Third Millennium |
Years 2001 - 3000 |
Need proof? Just ask the United
States Naval Observatory , the official date and time keeper for the
United States. They agree that everyone is starting their Millennium bashes
a year too early. Even the Royal
Greenwich Observatory agrees...
