When talking of extreme lengths of time, it sounds a little more professional to base the words on the Latin base “millennium” for which the plural is given as “millennia”. However, times are constantly changing our usage. I’m sure someone will do a count and establish what Google tells us to be the usage frequency of each.

Afterthought:
"In both the 3000 and 2000 millenniums BCE, out of the millennia from 3500 to 500 BCE...."
Now that’s a place where one might stretch the rule and use “millenniums” for the first two selected “millennia”.
Don't take this too seriously, however.
