@ivan zlax<\/a> You say: "But Indian calendar usage started officially at 1 Chaitra 1879, Saka Era, or 22 March 1957 C.C."
So, you think, that the indian civilisation did not measure days and years before? And\/or did not write a date on its documents? Its the civilisation we have to thank for the decimal notation and the concept of the number zero....
For starters you may have a look upon the buddhist calendar: https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Buddhist_calendar<\/a>
It begins 2556 years ago, that is its "year 0" set to begin in a full moon night when Siddharta Gautama died to become a demigod according to tradition. And of course, the indian historians did not only know the number zero(they invented it), they also used negative numbers to describe the time gone by since events in the past for thousands of years and in mythology in millions of years.
So, when the Tarangini chronic mentions some event such as a report about roman merchants for its year 650 and the same merchants are mentioned in roman documents for around 100 in the julian calendar there you have the synchronicity.
Its fairly simple, I'd say.<\/div><\/div>
