Quote:How about a sensible point to start dating from: The invention of writing!
That was around 3500 years ago making today's date 5511 AW (after writing) It makes sense to me because there wouldn't have been any way to record dates before writing!

Nice, but is there a record of the year when the first writing was invented? Big Grin
