Back in Time.

[Karlysymon]

If you could go back in time, across continents and in different epochs, where would you go and why? What places would you avoid? Well, i will be in DC, circa the spring of 1865 in a few days. Only this time, i will take the trip using literature. So, imagine away!

I would be the best Eve in the garden of Eden that history never heard of!
I would go back to that time right before the temptation, and sucker-punch that old serpent so hard that he would shed his skin (if he had testicles, they would be deflated!)

 

[MoroccanEyes]

Probably ancient Egypt, and Persia and good old time's of Jerusalem when it wasn't governed by the genocidal, ethnic cleansing illegal settlement of Israel.

I'd go back to June 1993. I'd have all the useless knowledge that I have today.

 

[Armas]

I would go 1400 years back, and see the Prophet Muhammad .

Almost anywhere on earth in the mid-1930's except maybe Russia. Lots of momentous historical stuff going on in many areas, and it would have been pretty cool to watch it happen.

That, or the area that is now Vancouver, Canada, before anyone other than the first nations was there. I would build a cabin right about where Davie and Denman intersect, and make friends with the locals.

I would go back to mid February 1990 and say "NO WAY" to going out with one EX when he asked me.

People were more racist in the past so I would rather stay in the present day. Also the more time you have to reflect on, the smarter you can be.

I would love to have lived in what is now Italy back in the renaissance days.

 

[Karlysymon]

Thanks everyone for the replies so far. I wish i could go back and see all 6 of the 7 wonders of the Ancient world in their heyday. My soul would be really happy.

The times of the prophets

times of the legends

especially visit palestine

 

[Corvus Corax]

It would be a hard choice. I think I'd like to see what Akhneaton was really like, and what really happened.
Building pyramids
Building Stonehenge
Richard III

I'd try to avoid plagues.
Wars
Witch burnings
Cromwell

@Karlysymon
I take literature trips too.
What are you reading?

 

[The Unenlightened]

I would love to see the birth of our universe, the big-bang. It would be interesting to see how we all came to be an where all this matter and energy originated from.

Hello Corvus
its true that its always difficult to choose when and where to go when it comes to going back in time. Iam re-reading a series on the Lincoln assassination by one of my favourite authors. Here is the link and iam pretty sure you'll like it. One hell of a trip!

Please let me know when you are done!

Dave McGowan!

Cheers! I read the laurel canyon thing years ago.
I don't know much about Lincoln, I'll have a look at that, find out some more.

If i could go back in time,
I would go any where at every time,

Across all continents and all epochs,
Because every thing is just so precious,

I wouldn't avoid any place,
Since God is above every face

Nice topic Karlysymon,

 

[Fleur D'Amour]

I have many points in time I'd like to go back to and visit. The first place in my mind was back when Jesus walked the earth with his disciples. I'd love to sit and listen to his teachings and follow him. Kind of be like the '13th' disciple, haha.

And maybe go back and try to save Judas. He made a very bad choice, but it wasn't worth ending his life. If only he repented, he would have been saved. Saul (now Paul) wasn't any better than Judas, but he's the main author of the New Testament.

Haha, that should be interesting... and kind of scary once you think about it. 'The Unknown' is a bit terrifying for most.

What does that even mean?
