I’m just waiting for someone to provide proof our current calendar is not off by anywhere from a few to a couple hundred years.
Seriously, with record keeping the way it was this could really be the 1800’s
Made the whole 2012 thing really amusing.
That’s only if you are using the ‘Gregorian’ Calendar.
If you are Orthodox Jewish it’s Tammuz 8, 5778.
If you are Islamic, it’s 7 Shawwal, 1439.
If you are Persian, it’s 31 Khordad 1397.
There are many others:
