The method of calculatiing years in the western world comes from the birth of Christ. We are currently (at the time this was written) in the year 2008 AD. 'AD' stands for 'Anno Domini' - 'in the year of Our Lord' - in other words 2008 years since the Birth of Christ. before that years are designated 'BC' (like the building of Stonehenge around 3000BC) where 'BC' stands for 'BeforeChrist'. However, because of an innocent mistake in the early Church the date for Christ's birth was calculated wrongly - although it should have been 1AD (there was never a year '0'). Archaeological and historical evidence places Christ's birth around 4BC when the error is taken into account, but nevertheless the whole of the Western dating system is based on this one unique event.
