No, there is no more commonly used word for a period of 10000 years. But I would also advise against using myriaannum; it does not look especially well-formed to me as a classical compound (it combines Greek myria- and Latin annum), and the prefix «myria-» seems to be obsolete in scientific compounds (like mega-annum). In my opinion, it’s best to just go with
The Old Man of the Mountain was formed ten millenia ago by glaciers.
Your question, and vickyace’s answer, both mention the Greek root myria— which was used with the meaning «ten thousand.» But I cannot find any English word derived from this (aside from the aforementioned myriaannum) with the specific meaning «a period of ten thousand years.»
I found a Math Forum thread about this topic: Year 10,000? There were lots of miscellaneous suggestions for neologisms of unclear validity, but among these I found the following interesting information in a post by Patrick T. Wahl:
The Greek word «myrioi» for 10,000 is the source of «myrietes» and
«myrieteris,» which mean «a period of 10,000 years.» Similarly, there
is «chilieteris,» a period of 1,000 years, which uses the «chili-»
prefix that became our «kilo-.» By the way, there’s a very long word
for a myriad of myriads = 10^8 in Greek. Nothing like these spellings
seems to have entered English.Classical Latin seems to have had a wealth of «-ennium» words,
including some that I didn’t suspect ( like triennium, tricennium,
tricentennium for periods of 3, 30 and 300 years respectively.) The
word «millenium» is the biggest I found. It appears that a modifier
got stuck on the front if there was more than a thousand of anything.
Something like «decei millenii» for ten millenia seems to be what they
used. […]Consulting the Oxford English Dictionary, I found no word for «10,000
years» that survived into English. ( Particularly NOT «myriennium» or
«myriayore»: those are not in the O.E.D. ) I was surprised to find the
Greek «chili-» word above as the English word «chiliad.» It means «a
group of 1000,» but also «1000 years.» Might «myriad» have the
alternate meaning, too? Only a scholar can say, and the O.E.D. gave no
citation for such a use.
The entry for μυριετής myrietḗs in Liddell, Scott, and Jones’ Greek-English Lexicon confirms that it was used to refer to 10,000-year periods. It seems to have been an adjective rather than a noun.
We can give names to certain lengths of time when we write about them to make things easier. Most people already know about decades, centuries, and millenniums, but did you know more words can be used? This article will help you understand them.
“Decade” is ten years, “century” is one hundred, and “millennium” is one thousand. After that, we can use words like Epoch for one million years and “Aeon” for one billion years. There aren’t many official words for other year types like 10,000 years, but we do have some unofficial variations.
Typically, official counting after millenniums is not possible. Nevertheless, we have some great words that work well with increasing values:
| Decade | Ten years |
| Century | One hundred years |
| Millennium | One thousand years |
| Decem millennium | Ten thousand years |
| Centum millennium | One-hundred thousand years |
| Mega-annum or Epoch | One million years |
| Aeon | One billion years |
How Many Years Is A “Decade”?
A decade is ten years in length. It’s one of the most common ways to reference ten-year periods, and we can use it to show that a certain amount of time has passed.
The definition of “decade,” according to The Cambridge Dictionary, is “a period of ten years, especially a period such as 2010 to 2019.”
You might be familiar with common phrases like “the 90s decade” or “the 00s decade.” These all work well to show that a period of ten years has taken place.
- It’s been a decade since we last saw each other.
- I was a kid in the 70s decade, and I loved every second of it.
- This decade is a joke! We need to move on to the next one!
How Many Years Is A “Century”?
A century is one hundred years. We use it whenever one hundred years have passed (i.e. from 2000 to 2100). It’s common to use this in history books to reference certain times when wars took place.
The definition of “century,” according to The Cambridge Dictionary, is “a period of 100 years.”
In most cases, we say the century that’s one above what you might expect. Since the years started at 0, the years 0-100 were known as the 1st century. Similarly, the current year is part of the 21st century (even though it’s only 2022).
- The 21st century has been a nightmare.
- I wish I was around in the 17th century.
- This isn’t the 18th century anymore. We have more power now!
How Many Years Is A “Millennium”?
A millennium is one thousand years. We are technically in the third millennium in time, but it’s rare for time to be spoken about in this way.
The definition of “millennium,” according to The Cambridge Dictionary, is “a period of 1,000 years, or the time when a period of 1,000 years ends.”
Millennium is much less common than a decade or century, but we still have a specific meaning associated with it.
- It’s been an interesting millennium, and the history books definitely show that!
- This millennium is going to be the most innovative one yet!
What Is A Period Of 10,000 Years Called?
If you follow the same Latin words are trends, then 10,000 years would be called the Decem millennium. While this is not the official name, it makes sense to refer to it in this way since we use Latin words to demonstrate every other type of year.
What Is A Period Of 100,000 Years Called?
Likewise, we can use Latin phrases to come up with the Centum millennium for 100,000 years. Again, it’s uncommon to see it used in any way since most people would rather use “one hundred thousand years” over the Latin form.
What Is A Period Of 1,000,000,000 Years Called?
One billion years is called an Aeon. It’s a well-known phrase that is used in certain scientific books or fantasy novels and games. While it’s not common to talk about one billion years in most contexts, we can attribute “Aeon” to the amount of time if needed.
What Are 20 Years Called?
A period of 20 years is known as a vicennial. However, this is not a common phrase, and many native speakers don’t know about it. Instead, most people simply use “two decades” to refer to a period of twenty years.
What Is Every 30 Years Called?
“Tricennial” is the correct term for 30 years. Again, this is not common, and many native speakers don’t know about the Latin form. Instead, they would simply use “three decades” if they wanted to talk about this period of time.
What Is A Period Of 50 Years Called?
You might be noticing a pattern here, and 50 years tend to follow the same idea.
Technically, 50 years is known as a semi-centennial. This refers to fifty years of time but is a Latin form that many native speakers don’t know about. Instead, they would either say “five decades” or “half a century.”
What Do You Call 100 Years?
100 years is a simple one. We use “century” to refer to it. Since it doesn’t use Latin forms in obvious ways, native speakers are familiar and comfortable with this form.
You’ll often hear people using “century” whenever they’re talking about 100 years. It’s best to remember it whenever you need to use it.
Is There A Word For 1 Million Years?
There is also a word for 1 million years that we haven’t touched on yet.
You can call 1 million years an Epoch or a mega-annum. “Mega-annum” works best if you want to stay true to the Latin form that includes the “mega-” prefix and “annum” (meaning year). “Epoch” is better if you’re using it scientifically or in a fantasy novel set.
What Is A Half Decade Called?
Finally, a half-decade is known as a quinquennial.
You might think this sounds a bit strange, and that opinion is shared by most native speakers. Therefore, it’s not a common form, and most people stick to the more simple term of “five years” or “half decade.”

Is Divine Dragon Sect stronger or more lonely?
……
The ruins of Divine Dragon Sect.
mountainside.
“Master, I finally let your old man settle down!”
“On the way to transport your ashes, the three of us, Senior Sister and Junior Brother, were chased and killed. In order to cover us, Big Senior Sister is still alive and dead…”
“I guess…mostly it was dead…”
“Little Junior Brother, I was arrested on the way. I went…”
“Now the entire Divine Dragon Sect, I am the only one left…”
“Master, although you passed Sect Lord’s Position before you died I gave it to me, but I’m afraid…I can’t inherit your last wish.”
“After making arrangements for your old man, I will also leave my hometown and stay incognito, and never show my face again… “
“Master, don’t blame me, I can’t hold on by myself…”
In front of a brand new grave.
An unkempt girl wearing a daoist robe, knelt on the ground and burned for 5 minutes, her dusty face was full of sadness.
The girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old. There are many holes in her robe, revealing her shining and snowy skin, and some places are filled with dark red blood stains, which is very horrible to see.
I babbled in front of the grave and said what was in my heart.
The boulder in the girl’s heart seemed to fall to the ground.
The whole person’s expression is much more relaxed.
Luo Li stood up and looked all around.
I saw her within the valley, densely packed with nearly 300 graves.
She should have been buried here after she died.
But now, she decided to disband Divine Dragon Sect.
So after death, I am destined to miss this place.
Although Divine Dragon Sect is a rateless little sect, it has a long inheritance. Every Sect Master must enter this valley after death.
In front of those densely packed graves, there are stone tablets. Some stone tablets are extremely old. If time is calculated, they are at least 100,000 years old.
“Ai, my Divine Dragon Sect is said to be the eternal sect Great Sect of the cream of the crop, didn’t expect, but now it has fallen to…”
Luo Li sighed , Her dark little face, wrinkled, her expression depressed.
As a fallen Sect Master, Luo Li is just Qi Gathering Realm 8-Layer.
It is the weakest Sect Master ever.
Following Master cultivation these years, several of them have either been hiding in Tibet, or trying to flee for their lives under the chase of their enemies.
Where is there time for cultivation.
So Luo Li’s cultivation base is pitifully weak.
It is said that their Divine Dragon Sect 250th generation Sect Master once offended a big power.
From then on.
Divine Dragon Sect, generations of disciplines, have embarked on the road of escape.
Nevertheless.
Divine Dragon Sect has lasted for nearly fifty generations, and passed to Luo Li. It is already the 298th generation of Sect Master.
Recall the sad past.
Luo Li’s face became even more sad, and he sighed silently.
Perhaps with the Divine Dragon bloodline, the successor of Divine Dragon Sect has a strong belief. Generations of Sect Masters have survived in the cracks, avoiding waves of enemies.
It’s been a long time.
Divine Dragon Sect is getting weaker and weaker. In the Luo Li Master this generation, several decades, only three disciplines have been received.
And her Master is just the cultivator of Origin Sea Realm.
“Ai, the past is unbearable…”
Luo Li’s sad gaze swept across several ancient graves in the depths, and suddenly said to himself: “Forget it, anyway. Never come again, let’s give Sect Old Ancestor the last 5 minutes!”
After speaking.
Luo Li took a bundle of incense and walked to the first row of graves in the depths.
……
Starting from the first grave, Sect Founder, the incense is on, Luo Li said nothing, with a small black face covered with dust, with a solemn expression.
At the 13th tomb.
Luo Li glanced at the ancient stone tablet in front of the grave. In the long and narrow phoenix eyes, his eyes suddenly changed like Celestial Phenomenon in the rainy season.
“Is this, the most powerful Old Ancestor in Divine Dragon Sect’s history? It is said that arrogant and domineering offended many people, even Bing Phoenix Sect Saintess, dare to molest him! I was so angry and bitter that I finally only became a Sect Master for six years, so I abdicated and let the virtuous…”
Speaking of which.
Luo Li’s plump lips curled up, and he let out a sneer: “hmph! It can be called the shortest-lived Sect Master of Divine Dragon Sect!”
Although he feels good in his heart.
Luo Li is still on for 5 minutes. In any case, the 13th-generation Sect Master has led Divine Dragon Sect to achieve the most brilliant results.
It is worth her 5 minutes for this Old Ancestor.
For the previous 12 Old Ancestors, Luo Li knocked his head every 5 minutes.
But facing this 13th-generation Sect Master, she did not kowtow.
Stand straight.
“Old Ancestor, if it weren’t for you to be too arrogant and forge that many enemies, how could the Divine Dragon Sect in the back quickly decline?”
“And you, it’s said that Cultivation deviation, straight up your pigtails! Let many of your enemies at that time clap their hands one by one, saying that we Divine Dragon Sect have done all the bad things and deserved the sin…”
After the grievances.
Luo Li muttered and turned around, preparing to go to the 14th grave to offer incense.
Suddenly the soil loosened, and there was a sparse sound.
Looking at the turbulent soil, Luo Li was shocked, a look of fear suddenly appeared on his face.
You cheated the corpse?
Old Ancestor alive?
Crawled out of the coffin?
Luo Li was shaking like chaff, she was scared to death at this moment.
An Old Ancestor who has been dead for 100,000 years, can she still crawl out of the coffin when she sneered at it?
A piece of white bone hand suddenly stretched out from the mound.
Boom!
The head of the grave exploded suddenly!
A white skeleton jumped high and landed in front of Luo Li.
“Mom, ghost!”
Luo Li was so scared that he sat on the ground, his eyes rolled white, and he almost didn’t urinate.
