African Millennium: Genuine African Calendar: A Living Legacy of African Civilization
Ethiopian Calendar is also called Geez Calendar. It is a solar Calendar. It is a Calendar developed based on the the position and state of the earth when it revolves around the sun relative to the Ethiopian land Geo-Helio position. The origin and the evolution of the Ethiopian Calendar is as mysterious as the origin and evolution of the Geez Language itself. And As mysterious as the Axumite monument erection Technology. One thing for sure, Ethiopian Calendar is not a third hand calendar or derived from any Second Hand Calendar. I have read and read, no writer puts Ethiopian Calendar as a third hand of a second hand Calendar of Coptic or Julian except some uninformed ones. Even the oldest Cro-Magnon Calendar which said to be 9500 years old BC is perceived by some scholars to have been brought to Europe from East Africa when they first emigrated. There is no any well-grounded fact for an Ethiopian Calendar to be Coptic or Julian except assumptions from the uninformed due to the fact that these calendars are not Calendars themselves.

   The Birth of Jesus Christ and Ethiopian Calendar
Jesus Christ was born exactly on the day of the Ethiopian Christmas day we always celebrate. The European Christmas day is not the birth date of Jesus Christ. Any European priest can tell about this. When one asks why? They say the day was changed to December 25th according to European Calendar because the followers of Jesus Christ were persecuted when they started celebrating the birth day of Jesus and they had to change it to the 25th December to celebrate it incontinence.

Why is Ethiopian Calendar 8 years behind? This has to do with old Ethiopian Calendar. Ethiopian has customized and synchronized their Calendar with the year Jesus was born and the date Jesus war born. When they Christianized their Calendar, they had to carry forward eight years from the old Calendar and they had to start brand new after finishing the eight years from the old which we say today we are eight years behind the other Calendars.

The other Calendars have carried eight years forward from the old Calendars and that is why they are eight years ahead of us.
