Most of the world uses the Gregorian calendar with year designations like AD (Anno Domini) or CE (Common Era). Historically, Christians counted years from the traditionally recognized birth of Jesus, but secular usage evolved to the CE/BCE (Before Common Era) notation for inclusivity. Other systems, like the Hebrew or Chinese calendars, have their own base years and cyclical counts. People often explore these numbering systems to reconcile dates in multilingual or multi-faith contexts. Recognizing how year numbering can vary emphasizes the cultural lens through which we measure historical epochs.
