Ok, this is for all you history fans out there.

This is how it will work. Every post will be the next year and an event that happened in that year. We will just do AD and hopefully we will get to the present day. I’ll start with two examples.

AD 2. The first census is concluded in China, and shows numbers of nearly 60 million people. This is one of the most accurate surveys in Chinese history.
