>>>But wasn't Dec.31 of 1AD the end of the first year of the first millenium...<<<

Yes. Exactly.

That's why Dec. 31, 2001 AD will be the end of the FIRST year of the next millenium and the 21 st Century.

Dec. 31, 0001 AD end of first year of millenium 1
Dec. 31, 2001 AD end of first year of millenium 2

(Hint: No year zero.)

Celebrating the Year 2000 as the "beginning" of anything was a triumph (and ultimately a failure) of Marketing.
