Yay, fun indeed!
I can see all of the BCE dates are out by one on the timeline, will get
that fixed.
Thanks a lot for updating the JSON spec and filling me in on the details,
that's cleared a few things up :-)

Hi Navino!
Thank you for your awesome work!
Since this has caused some confusion again recently, I want to caution you
about
a major gotcha regarding dates in RDF and JSON: they use different
conventions
to represent years BCE. I just updated our JSON spec to reflect that
reality,
see <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/DataModel/JSON#time>.
There is a lot of confusion about this issue throughout the linked data
web,
since the convention changed between XSL 1.0 (which uses -0044 to
represent 44
BCE, and -0001 to represent 1 BCE) and XSL 1.1 (which uses -0043 to
represent 44
BCE, and +0000 to represent 1 BCE). Our JSON uses the traditional
numbering (1
BCE is -0001), while RDF uses the astronomical numbering (1 BCE is +0000).
Yay, fun.
