You want me to use BCE and CE instead of BC and AD because its too 'religious'
But what event triggers this "common era"?

I agree, we should add 10,000 to the CE in order to make the cutoff point the invention of agriculture.
How about we split the difference and make it about the discovery of bronze? There's a "B" in it. I'd suggest iron but the meteoric wootz thing would really mess with what year to establish it on. :edgeworth-shrug:
If it's 10,000 it's likely about the time we started smelting copper. Copper Era.
Yeah but muh bronze. :angery:
Slap some tin on it, pour it into a clay mould, how hard can it be? (very we can't do the things Bronze Age smiths did with Bronze anymore, they were masters of cast metal)
Was thinking we could use a global historical marker like the end of the Ice Age, also around 11,500 years ago.
