Revision as of 17:04, 15 October 2005 by 80.219.221.177 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)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.
Related to this are the Anno Lucis of Freemasonry, which adds 4000 years to the AD date, and the Aetos Kosmou of the Byzantine Greek Calendar (in which the year 7514 begins in September 2005), both of which claim to date from Creation.
