There already exists a notion of "the human era" that adds exactly 10,000 to the
current year:
> The Holocene calendar, also known as the Holocene Era or Human Era (HE), is a year numbering system that adds exactly 10,000 years to the currently dominant (AD/BC or CE/BCE) numbering scheme, placing its first year near the beginning of the Holocene geological epoch and the Neolithic Revolution, when humans shifted from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to agriculture and fixed settlements.

(Of course, the choice to add exactly 10,000 is a compromise to make it trivial to interconvert between HE and AD.)
