looking for a mod (timekeeping)

[Kneller]

I know this has nothing to do with game functionality and is purely aesthetic, but...

has anyone noticed how odd it is how time is measured in the game? You start at 4000 B.C and eventually work your way to A.D. So, we have a time keeping system based around the birth of a person who is never actually born in the Civ world and indeed his entire religion has to be discovered at some variable point of the game.

Has anyone made a mod to change timekeeping to something more thematically appropriate?

4000 BC is the approximate date that writing was invented/discovered. Writing is (agreed by most) the separator between Prehistory and the Ancient Age.

cant remember on top of my head, but there is a mod that removes timekeeping (BC/AD) and adds eras instead:
Stoneage/Bronzeage/Ironage/Early Medieval/Late Medieval etc
