Yes, people had placed it in 2987 B.C. because of 2013 - 5000, which is not the case, as there's no year 0 in the B.C./A.D. system.

But there's no such thing as January 2988 B.C., months didn't exist back then. The 01 must just be simulating what month it would've been if they did exist. No reason to put it on the page.
