If we must go from the 'dawn of civilisation' let's start at the end of the ice age, since that's when humans truely began to make this world their own.

We need to start from whenever we started farming. Agriculture is the best sign of civilization. Kind of difficult to find that though.

We should just start for unix epoch so that it has a 0 timestamp and anything before that time would have a negative one.

10 10 10 in base 2 is equal to 32 + 8 + 2 = 42.
The ultimate answer has been given. Begin the human sacrifices! :D

My grandpa's birthday was 10/10/10. He was, of course, born sometime before that.
