JunoH New Member United Kingdom 5 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 11:28 am Apologies, have now found the date: 1223 + 23 = 1246 Islamic date. Converts to June 22 1830 Christian date. Help with the country would still be welcome :-) Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 17037 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 7:13 pm There was no "Year Zero" in regnal dating; 1223 was Year 1, 1224 was Year 2, and so forth. So the correct formula you need to use to work out the date is 1223 + 24 - 1 = 1246. AH 1246 began on 22 June 1830 and ended on 11 June 1831; this is why the AD converted date is quoted as "1830/31". Quote: If I did my math right... I'm terrible at math and usually can't be bothered trying to find the conversion tables in Krause. So I use an Islamic date converter website; this one is pretty good. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
