El año que comienza en realidad no es el 2024 d.C. ¿Por qué?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:04:07 GMT

(CNN Español) — El año que comienza es el 2024 después de Cristo… según el calendario que seguimos mayoritariamente en Occidente. Sin embargo, en realidad no es el año 2024 después del nacimiento de Cristo ya que, según los historiadores, esa cifra es el resultado de un cálculo que hoy sabemos que es errado. En otras palabras: el mesías del cristianismo no habría nacido exactamente hace 2024 años.Primero lo primero: las generaciones iniciales de cristianos no contaban los años tomando como referencia la fecha del nacimiento de Jesús.

También había sistemas que no implicaban una numeración, como identificar los años según quiénes eran los cónsules que estaban en el poder o qu...
