Okay, honest question: what did they call it then, if anything?

Because it's not like they planned on counting down to the future "messiah's" birthday.

You have to look at non-Christian calendars.

It was 2275 in Korea.

It was 265 of the 33rd dynasty in Egypt.

It was 2 of the 180th Olympiad in Greece.

Damn, so Korea went back in time? Or what are they on now? Did they hit 40K yet? Do they count in dog years? Do they inflate their numbers so it sounds cooler? Have the halfed it, when they split the country in half? I demand answers Korea!

I now realise that I know absolutely nothing of Korean history
