Okay, so I had an interesting thought the other day. If humanity has been within the walls for around 100 years, and nearly everyone's memories of the times before the walls has been erased (save for Ackermans, Reisses, and Asians), why is the current year in the AOT universe 850 instead of ~ 100?

My only guess as to why would be that the government officials that answer directly to the Reiss family were instructed to keep the date system in place before the walls in effect.

Any theories on this?
