The answer to your question would hinge on the date the callendar
began. Was there a year zero? Or was "0" an arbitrarily appointed
null? Was the "first day" Januarary 1, 0001 or January 1, 0000?
IF the first day was January 1, 0001, the millinium would not begin
until Jan. 1, 2001. This is what I suspect is the case. Gregory (founder
of the Gregorian Callendar) was a Catholic Priest. I believe he picked
an instant in time as being the instant of "Christ" (God on Earth, in
HIS view) and he counted time, forward and backward, from that instant.
It should also be noted that the Gregorian callendar made no allowances
for what we now call leap year and was divided into 12 months of 30
days. This made for a discrepancy of six and one quarter days a year.
I do not remember in what year or years the necessary correction or
corrections were made.
	I believe, from my various readings over the years, that the 
Myian Callendar was the most accurate, astronomically. It projected
that time, as we record it, would cease on a specific date in the year
2012. Interestingly enough, a computer projection of the "I Ching"
for planet earth projected the same day for the 64th hexigram, rebirth,
or the end of time as we measure it.
	I do not pretend to understand the complexities of space/time
as a sigularity, but I do believe that such a mind bogling event such
as that is what is indicated.

	The above is my informed OPINION. I accept that your opinion
might not agree with my one.
