Our calendar purportedly begins with the birth of Christ in 0 A.D., right?Wrong. There was no year "0".

Wrong. There was no year "0". You mean the First State Bank of Bethlehem didn't have a year "0" calendar?

And calendars weren’t based on the birth of Christ. The Julian was created 46 years before Christ was born and the Gregorian calendar (invented by Pope Gregory XIII) was created 1582 years after Christ was born.
