Zero was a mathematical concept that was rejected and negative numbers were once seen as useless and even evil. Zero did not exists as a concept at the birth of christ and so the millennium didn’t start for the religious until 1001/2001. The concept of nothing doesn’t exist in ancient languages and it’s arguable the first sentence of the Bible is an mis interpretation as there was no concept of a beginning. Zero is definitely something - progress. Nothing is nothing.
