Dwain K. Butler,

Millennium—1000 thousand years! Humans conceive most easily of a lifetime, in years, decades, perhaps a century. Since a millennium covers many lifetimes, many generations, and the rise and fall of nations, it stretches our sense of time and assumes a human significance far beyond its physical and temporal significance. A millennium is indeed a time span of myths and legends.
