Anno Mundi (AM, "in the year of the world") refers to a Calendar era counting from the creation of the world. An example is the Hebrew calendar which considers creation to have taken place in the year 3761 BC. AM was also used for by early Christian chronographers. Beda Venerabilis dated creation to 18 March 3952 BC. The Aetos Kosmou is the corresponding concept in the Byzantine Greek Calendar, datin creation to 1 September, 5509 BC.
Related to this is the Anno Lucis of Freemasonry, which adds 4000 years to the AD date, and the Julian day number, counting the days that have elapsed since 12 noon Greenwich Mean Time (UT or TT) on Monday, January 1, 4713 BC.
