I think blackouts in 1859 were a pre-existing condition, as it were.
No one who graduated college should write that 2610 BC was 2,600 years ago, but in this case it was probably a copy editor who only glanced at the article when composing a headline, and didn’t catch the BC part.
… or that 2610 AD is well into the future …
