>This is new to me. I never thought about it. So, how did the years about 2000 years ago? 2 B.C., 1 B.C., then what? You are saying 1 A.D. would be next. Is this correct?

I'm not sure how exactly it worked... I'm not quite THAT old! But actually, the calendar we're using now is the gregorian calendar, based in 1783 (I think), so we don't have to worry about that. All I know is from what they teach in school, the 21st century begins only on Jan. 1, 2001. A century starts at it's year 1, not 00, so 2001, 2002, 2003 to 2100 is the 21st century.
