QQC

Quote: "As warriors left to go to battle, they each put a rock in a pile. When they got home again, they each removed one. The number of rocks left equaled the number of men lost."
-To me this quote is amazing because instead of writing down how many people died during the war, they used pebbles to calculate the how many died.

Question: My question for this article is about the number zero and how they were talking about the year zero. Was there really a zero year? because they are saying that it was not.

Comment: My comment to my question is that I think there had might have been a year zero because like they were saying in the Gregorian calender they said that the year of 1 A.D. represents the year of 0 to 1 year of A.D .
