To go back in Time

[chief4db]

If u had a chance to go back in time to any time in history for 1 year when would it be and why?

This was a tough one. I was thinking of all the events in history I could witness. Thinking of 11/22/63 where i could go back and witness the assassination of kennedy. Or 1994 to see if O.J. acted alone. All said and done I would go back to the last year of Christ and witness the whole year.

Side note, your in ghost form. No one can see or hear or sense u and u don't have the ability to interfere. Just witness. Where would u go

I think we have a thread on this, don't we? If someone knows what it was called and can pull it forward, I would be ever so grateful.

Before the Library of Alexandria was sacked, looted and burnt, but with the ability to read and understand all those strange scribbles. I remember answering this in the post that Dana Jean is remembering. Good question though.

No, I wouldn`t take the chance and I wouldn`t go anywhere.
I`m born and am living in this time for a reason, or at least I believe that.
I don`t know myself really well, to be honest, so if I ever figure myself out...maybe then.

Good thread.

I wanna go back to ancient Egypt and see exactly which damn contractors built those pyramids. Those guys were good!

It would be tempting to go back to the time of a given prophet or messiah or icon and see how much was real and how much was made up later by the acolytes.

But then what do you do with it? So say, for instance, you go back to the time of Jesus' birth or death and you find out that, uh-oh, it wasn't as miraculous as your favorite gospel would lead you to believe. What do you do with that? No one's going to believe that you were a ghost in another time. Even if some did and you tried to set the record straight, you'd be reviled as anti-whatever-religion you were looking into.

Me, I'd like to go to the year leading up to Chicxulub (the meteor that probably trashed the Earth as the dinosaurs knew it, and the dinosaurs themselves) and see what life was like and see if the meteor really was all that. Or go back about 50,000 years and see the confluence of Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis and the megafauna at the time.

There are some other things that appeal to me as well - the court of one of the Pharaohs, the court of Kublai Khan, the life of the Celts around 600 CE, the settlement of Hawaii by the Polynesians, the regal excesses of Mesoamericans. But still, that meteor calls to me.

Thanks, danie I think this is the one DJ meant... I'll just merge the threads now.

 

[FlakeNoir]

Oops... nope, can't merge them right now as the other thread is in the Hot Topic area, so maybe we'll just have to have two similar threads as this one probably doesn't belong in that area right now.

I would go back to 2014 and I never would've taken that class. Then I never would've gotten involved with my art professor. It was the worst relationship I've ever had and it almost ruined my life.

I would also avoid getting involved with that CPA who destroyed my self esteem and made me feel like ending my life when I was in business school.

 

[muskrat]

I'd go back and do 1982 again, and this time really learn that Rubix Cube. I mean, just get it down cold, man. Show up those dill holes at the arcade.

If that door doesn't work, I'll take 1947. Chain smoke Luckies and solve that damn Dahlia case. Eat pork based breakfasts every day with nips from the 'desk bottle' while reading pre-code comics. Hey, it's my fantasy, shut up.

Just to be clear on the premise, it's observation only. You don't change events. You don't fix your own timeline.

Ah, thanks... I missed that first time round.

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. I don't get it. They show us a side view and then u have an overhead pic that says reality. What is the difference

....from most pics of the pyramids, it would appear that they are in the midst of this huge desert....when in reality, the city is encroaching on them......
