There is no year 1 in our current calendar system either. The Gregorian Calendar begins in 1582. The Julian Calendar includes year 1, but changed in year 8, so 0001-01-01 is a slightly different day in the Gregorian Calendar, the Julian Calendar, and the old Julian Calendar. 2000 years after Julian Calendar 0001-01-01 is late December 2000.
This has less meaning in China because China used its own calendar until 1911. People living in China 2000 years before 2001-01-01 would not have called it year 1.
there is no year 0 we started at 1.

Babies don’t start at 1.
In many Asian countries they do if I am not mistaken but it irrelevant to when the millennium starts anyway
Huh, that’s really interesting ☺️ kinda cute ngl
You should have told that to those guys 2025 years ago.
Who is “we”?
mankind
Looked it up now, you’re correct.
Although there are instances of year zero, like with astronomical years.
