Significance of 1871,0000

[iseeking]

What is the significance of this number in the Hindu religion or calendar?

 

My German friend has been over everything he can find in the internet about the Vedic culture. He has come to the conclusion that every good idea, concept, religious practice finally finds its way back to the Vedas. He is fascinated by the vedic calculation of time. He is now looking for the significance of the figure 18710000 in the vedic times.

 

Does anyone have an idea? 

 

Thanks for your help
