Damn. I thought it was the new calendar year of the New Messiah which has next year its year zero in recognition of his ascendancy to power.
For use in archaeology your name would be read as Common Era 2949 Before Barack.
That would translate as either 940 BC (Before Christ) or 940 BCE (Before Common Era) in the current pre-Barack calendar.
What’s interesting is that his real name does have an interesting connection to something along those lines. Out of respect for him, I won’t reveal it, but it’s not impossible to determine. I rather enjoyed figuring it out.
On that note, someone should create a puzzle thread on FR for challenging, ORIGINAL puzzles and games. They’re quite easy and fun to do in this tech age in which we all live.
