No, it's 622 CE, the year of Muhammad's flight from Mecca to Medina.

70 CE was the year that the Second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed and the Jews were exiled from the Judean Province. It has nothing to do with Islam.

No, the beginning of the Muslim calendar is not the western year 70 CE. The Muslim calendar, also known as the Hijri calendar, starts from the year when Prophet Muhammad migrated from Mecca to Medina, which is equivalent to 622 CE in the western calendar.

What event marks the start of Gregorian calendar?

The calendar is intended to mark the number of years since the death of King Herod the Great. The Roman abbot Dionysus Exiguus devised the new Christian calendar in 533. He knew that it was impossible to say when Jesus was born, but he knew, or thought he knew, when Herod died. So, he chose to begin his Christian calendar on the year of Herod's death, and he based this on the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus. Unaware that Augustus only adopted that name four years after his reign began, going by his birth name of Octavius until then, Exiguus commenced his calendar just 4 years too late.
