What times would you like to visit?

Post Reply New Topic

If you had a time machine which could take you everywhere, what epoch would you like to visit? Would you be interested in being an eye witness of building of pyramids or maybe you always had a liking for times of medieval kings, crusades and plagues ravaging the Europe, like in 1348? Or maybe it's 19th century the time whose history you find fascinating?

Personally, I'd love to see everything by turns - dinosaurs ruling the Earth, savages dressed in skins of animals, later all those ancient guys from Rome and Greece and so on. Everything. All those important dates and events from human history.

I'd like to know the very beginning of our civilisation, to find out whether our globe was visited by aliens who were thought to be gods themselves by our ancestors and whether Atlantis existed.

I'd like to see the Earth in pristine condition before people arrived and mucked it up.

But then my being there would spoil it so, no, I'd like to stay here, in the present (it's where I live).

I would choose 1840s-1850s America, during westward expansion.

I'd like to go back to Roman days and give a counting tactical nuke to each of the Caesars, up to Constantine.

I like Victorian England, Edwardian England and America. I'd also like to visit the Forest Primeval.

Oh, ancient Greece, definitely. I would love to see the fabulous buildings, temples and statues of the gods.

Their is so much of history I would love to visit, but I fear I would spend my years going back in time, so when I finally did arrive in the present I would already be long dead.

Most of humanities history would be way too violent and disturbing, even for me. So I think I would rather go into the near future so that I could copy all the songs from my future self's Computer onto a Laptop and bring it back to my own time.

And possibly see some of the crazy sh**.

I would go back to 12th C to meet Eleanor Of Aquitaine.

I'd like to go back to the ancient Romans as they had such an important part to
play in how the modern world developed. Apart from that I'm curious to see how they pronounced certain letters such as V (like W ? ) or C (like Ch ? ). That's something that no historical writings can ever reveal.
I wouldn't stay long though as people could be quite violent in those days !

1960's

The 1950s or the 1970s.
