Comment on If civilization continues to the year 9999, is the idea to go to year 10.000, or...?

There’s already a movement to call it the 10000s because that’s about how long ago we had the idea to have permanent settlements

It's how long archeology has said we have had permanent settlements.
In reality it's likely far earlier than that, we only just found a settlement from 11,000 BCE in Turkey, Gobekli Tepe which was likely a sanctuary/shrine, as well as other towns in the surrounding area likely having started before even then.
Big archeology pushed back to say that that's not 100% certain and that humans were still nomadic, despite all the evidence showing otherwise. It was finally just recognized officially a couple months ago.
