The following is a contribution by Milan Belemezov for his project Clock 2000, a symbol of the passage of millennia (unfortunately unbuilt) located in Sofia, Bulgaria. His thorough site can be found here; as well links are provided to relevant pages on the project site.

Entering the third millennium, we are inspired to create a symbol of the 2000 years left behind. Passing through such a major event in time it is inevitable that we start thinking of the past and future, as well as of eternity.

However, are we really looking far enough ahead in the future? Are our horizons not too short, or our values too ephemeral?
