I thought it was Jan 1st 1970? That’s what the epoch time 0 says.

  time_t originally counted jiffies (60 per second) and was reset several times in the early 1970s before is was changed to count seconds. This makes it hard to interpret filesystem timestamps preserved in early Unix dumps. The 1970 epoch was chosen when Unix was a few years old, as a convenient round number.
