Where 2022 fits
Why 2022 is special
Fighting had been under way in eastern Ukraine since 2014, so 2022 marks an escalation rather than a start — a distinction that matters to how the conflict is dated and described. The year also saw large language models reach general public use.
2022 connects to:
- historical years — appears in
- 2014 — contrasts with

In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
2 lotuses, 2 hobbles, 2 strokes
2 × 1,000 + 2 × 10 + 2 × 1 = 2,022. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
3 corner wedges + 3 vertical wedges (sixties place), 4 corner wedges + 2 vertical wedges (units place)
33 × 60 + 42 = 2022. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.
