Creation to New Testament period

Note 12 August 2011: traditional Orthodox Christians will use the Byzantine calculation of the "Etos Kosmou" in conjunction with the "Anno Domini" year for dating. Since, the Byzantine Anno Mundi era was the official calendar of the Eastern Orthodox Church from c. AD 691 to 1728 in the Ecumenical Patriarchate yet much of the information can come from other sources, this article is in the process of requiring to convert and verify the dates into the accepted calendar used by the Orthodox Church. This note will be removed once these dates have been reconciled and can be verified/trusted. The computation is derived from the Septuagint [1] version of the Bible, and places the date of Creation at 5509 years before the Incarnation. Its year one, the supposed date of creation, is 1 September 5509 to 31 August 5508 BC. The Etos Kosmou ("Year of the Universe") is the corresponding concept in the Byzantine calendar.
