what is the 10,000th century of the human era.where does the calender come from

Quote:
The Human Era (HE), also known as the Holocene Era or Holocene calendar, is a year numbering system that adds exactly 10,000 years to the currently world-dominant Anno Domini (AD) or Common Era (CE) system, placing its first year near the beginning of the Holocene epoch and the Neolithic revolution. Human Era proponents claim that it makes for easier geological, archaeological, dendrochronological and historical dating, as well as that it bases its epoch on an event more universally relevant than the birth of Jesus. The current year of 2013 AD can be transformed into a Holocene year by adding the digit "1" before it, making it 12013 HE. The Human Era was first proposed by scientist Cesare Emiliani in 1993 (11993 HE).


This Wikipedia Article gives the best explanation I've read so far.

Year Zero H.E. (-10,000 BCE) is also the year commonly held to be when agriculture and the domestication of animals began, and the first time that all continents (except Antarctica) were inhabited by humans. Thus, the "Human Era".

I started writing a 150-page chronology of the Human Era back in 11995 H.E.

ANYWAY, the last Apostle - a true Disciple of Christ - died sometime between 70 and 80 CE (10070 to 10080 H.E), leaving no other Apostles (e.g., People who had met Jesus personally).

To but simply, and to leave a lot of history out of it, the Disciples of Christ is a sect of the Christian faith established back in the 1850s. Don't ask me how, why, or why the name was chosen, it was established because honestly I have no idea how to put it in short term. In view of our recient history we tend to be highly tolerant of practically any other faith or belief. Our symbold the Chalice and the Cross stand for our focus on communion and Christ's sacrifice (it is impossible for me not to incorperate religion so sorry). That is just a brief summary.

I think you're think of the apostles.
