    there was no year 0

    Just because no one said it was there, doesn’t mean it wasn’t.

    It’s like vaccines and autism and other things RFK doesnt believe in. They still exist!

      Dionysius did not use a year zero; the year preceding AD 1 was 1 BC.

      There was not a year zero. This isn’t a conspiracy theory.

        BC and AD are separate numbering schemes- so just because there is no year 0 defined doesn’t mean you can’t extrapolate - 0 AD is the same as 1 BC, and you’ll have -1 AD which is equivalent to 2 BC and so forth…
