Answer:
As has been noted, we calculate Christ's birth from some references given in Matthew and Luke to determine the year. Christ had to be born before Herod the Great died, so we count back from there. ... The death of King Herod is that reference point.

Answer:
To point out an incidence in history one reference point is required. The concept of using the time of Jesus lived has been universally accepted.It is B.C.,before christ,that is say 1000 years BC means it occurred 1000 years before the birth of christ.
