What does the fourth millennium BC or BCE mean in terms of beginning and end dates?

A millenium is 1000 years long from beginning to end. In terms of the modern calendar, there is no year-long period called year zero, no century zero and no millenium zero. As it is on the standard number line, 'zero' is a point in time on the calendar.So, the year 1 BCE (Before Common Era, or BC for Before Christ) ended on December 31 1 BCE, the day before January 1, 1 AD. That first year started on the previous January 1, 1 BCE.The first century BCE is the entire 100 years ending December 31 1 BCE, and starting January 1 100 BCE.The first millenium BCE then started January 1 1000 BCE and ended December 31 1 BCE.The fourth millenium BCE started January 1 4000 BCE and ended December 31 3001 BCE.It is a little odd. The numbers of the years centuries and millenia go in reverse order, like the number line. But the dates within a given year go forward as usual.


How many years has it been since the common era began?

The "Common Era" began in what would have been January 1, 0001 AD in the proleptic Gregorian calendar. It has been 2,010 years since the beginning of the "Common Era".


Is before the common era all the years before year 1?

Yes, also known as "Before Christ". We are currently in the year 2010, which goes backward to the year 1. The year immediately preceding 1 was 1 BC. So it would have gone from December 31, 1 BC to January 1, 1 AD.


How many years are there in one millennium?

There are a thousand years in one millennium. 1 millennium = 1000 years 1 century = 100 years 1 decade = 10 years


Why are you in the twenty first century instead of twentieth century?

Because the 20th Century is over and done with.Think of it this way:Pretend that when they started counting years, they called the first year ' 1 '.And at the same time, they made up the word 'Century' to mean '100 years'.So, ' 1 ' was the first year, ' 2 ' was the second year, ' 3 ' was the third year,' 99 ' was the 99th year, ' 100 ' was the 100th year, and the end of the year 100was the end of the first century.Notice that the year 100 was the last year of Century #1, and the 2nd Centurystarted on January 1, 101 .So the year 200 was the last year of Century #2, and the 3rd Century startedon January 1, 201 .And the year 300 was the last year of Century #3, and the 4th Century startedon January 1, 401 .Jump ahead a few centuries now . . .The year 2000 was the last year of Century #20, and the 21st Century startedon January 1, 2001 .
