It's a mistake to hire amateurs, as the archaeologist found to his great distress. One of his new staff came running in one day, all excited. He had just paid a local a great deal of money for an extremely valuable coin. As he said, "I've never seen one like this before, and I've been looking in museums for thirty years. It's a genuine Egyptian coin marked 100 B.C.-solid gold!" The director of the expedition sighed wearily and fired him. Why?

People before Christ had no idea when Christ was going to be born, so they could not keep track of time based on a birth that hadn't happened yet.

The people in that time did not know that the time period would eventually be called B.C.
