புத்தாண்டும் அறுவடைக் காலமும்

“How time was measured in ancient ages. Land tillers knew that summer, the harvest time, occurred regularly. They counted time by periods from one harvest to the next. That was how time began to be counted by years.

People called a year in which a particularly memorable event happened the first year. For example, in one country years were counted from a big flood., in another from the founding of the capital , Rome. The next year was called second year, the one after that the third year and so on. Years were counted differently in different countries. This was very inconvenient.   –F.Korovkin, History of the  ancient world, p.30.
