Around 6,600 HE, for the first dynasty. The last dynasty with a native ruler was the thirtieth dynasty, where Nectanebo II reigned from 9,342 HE to 9,360 HE.
Current year is 11,725 HE. (I use the Holocene calendar, albeit with a modification of -300 years, to correct for the fact that the Holocene era starts 300 years later than the commonly used Holocene calendar).
What is HE? I have never seen that used before. Most writer have switched from BC/AD to BCE/CE (before current era/current era), but that is the only thing that changes with the dates.
Why is it better? It’s just a number, only the starting point is different. But it still seems arbitrary.
Why is the accent on Jesus so problematic? I’m no fan of religion either but I’m also not bothered by it. It’s a starting point a lot of existing literature uses, so switching that seems… Unnecessary perhaps?
Yup. Off the top of my head, it goes back to 2000 BCE or something kinda old like that…

It would be nice if you could add Gregorian calendar years

Holocene Era!
What I do is the same, but I add 9,700, not 10,000 - because that matches closer to when the Holocene proper started.
So you’re using an uncommon calendar, and then made a unique variation on it? How does that help communicate what you mean?
The Holocene calendar is better and more neutral though, the Gregorian calendar puts the accent too much on Jesus.
Whereas your method puts far too much emphasis on YOU to the point of derailing whatever you’re using it for.
That’s about the farthest from a useful dating system you can get without going to amishsingles.ru
