| AM usually stands for anno mundi, used by the Hebrew calendar whose epoch was 3760/1
BC. This would make the date 5815 equivalent to AD 2055 which ain't possible. An alternative
suggestion is the that the epoch used was 22 October 4004 BC, the date of creation
calculated by James Ussher, Archbishop of Armagh. This gives a more credible date
for the lintel, 1811. |
