There's this idea that we should add 10000 years to our calendar. It's called the Holocene calendar.[0] The argument for using a calendar like this is that it would make it easier to understand historical dating and it would roughly align with the appearance of the first settlements. The Holocene epoch started at about 9700 BC. This would be around year 300 on this calendar ("of the human era"). If we used this calendar then the current year would be 12020. Cleopatra died in 9971. The Great Pyramid at Giza was finished around the year 7441. Alaric's sack of Rome would've been in the year 10410. Note that the reason events from the BCE time have a 1 at the end is because our current calendar does not have the year 0. It goes from 1 BC to 1 AD.
