Deleted cultural landmarks. The paragraph is fairly irrelevant and contains an insignificant piece of trivial history.

My edit

Just wanted to address my recent reversion of Groupthink's "CE" edit—I accidently reverted all of the other edits since his edit, and I apologize. Thanks for reverting that part, Arthur. — ^`CRAZY`(lN)`SANE^` 06:52, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I don't think it reads well, now, though. A problem is that the millennium begins with years in an astronomical or prolypic (sp?) Julian calendar, and ends in the Julian calendar. Any ideas? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 07:00, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly agree that the opening paragraph does not read well. Perhaps this:

The first millennium is a period of time which commenced on January 1, 1 and ended on December 31, 1000. This millennium is the beginning of the Anno Domini/Common Era.

Alternatively, maybe this?:

The first millennium is a period of time which commenced on January 1, 1 and ended on December 31, 1000. This millennium is the beginning of the Christian/Common era.

Any other suggestions?. — ^`CRAZY`(lN)`SANE^` 07:15, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm quite happy with the Anno Domini/Common Era phrasing, seems meaningful and reads well. Dheppens (talk) 07:35, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Iconoclast?

I dont understand using the noun "Iconoclast" to describe Jesus. Iconoclasm is the destruction of religious icons. So is Jesus a destroyer of Religious Icons? That doesn't make sense. I think the noun mean here is simply "Icon." ie- "Rabbi and icon apotheosized by the Christian religion"
