Where would you restart the calendar?
#31
RE: Where would you restart the calendar?
I think either 240BC or 1522AD deserve consideration as origin points of a calendar system.

240 BC is year of the first accurate measurement of earth's circumference. 1522 AD is the year of the first circumnavigation of the earth.

I also think 1492 AD is much more significant to human history than merely marking the vastly important discovery and colonization of America. It mark something even more portentous - the beginning of globalization of human civilization and that makes it for me the true beginning of the modern era.
