sarah_ab Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 sooo i'm at work and bored and i think a lot at work, cause i work alone, just me and my thoughts.. and i was wondering if i had the opportunity to go back in time, and just observe... i couldn't intervene, i could only observe, what famous historical even would i want to be there for, knowing i myself would survive (as in say the eruption of mt. vesuvius, i could watch it from ground zero and i wouldn't be killed etc...).... i came up with a few things i wouldn't mind seeing... the egyptian culture at its prime, the building of the great pyramids both in egypt and south america, the making of the 'crystal skulls', i really can't think of just one event... but how about other people, is there anyone one thing you'd love to be there to see first hand?

redneck diaper boy Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 For me it would be the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the Apostles on the day of Pentecost. sooo i'm at work and bored and i think a lot at work, cause i work alone, just me and my thoughts.. and i was wondering if i had the opportunity to go back in time, and just observe... i couldn't intervene, i could only observe, what famous historical even would i want to be there for, knowing i myself would survive (as in say the eruption of mt. vesuvius, i could watch it from ground zero and i wouldn't be killed etc...).... i came up with a few things i wouldn't mind seeing... the egyptian culture at its prime, the building of the great pyramids both in egypt and south america, the making of the 'crystal skulls', i really can't think of just one event... but how about other people, is there anyone one thing you'd love to be there to see first hand?

diamondback6881 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Hmm. Interesting question, Sarah. It's a toss-up between John F. Kennedy's assassination and September 11, 2001. Link to comment
Yvhuce Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Tasmania the day before the Europeans landed. Because I'd like to see what the thylacines were up to. Or my ancestral homeland of the Georgia/Florida region the day before the Europeans landed. For a similar reason (but with my ancestors, not the thylacines). Or the momets before the big bang, to see what caused it. $10 says it had something to do with a redneck and the phrase "y'all watch this!". Link to comment
guitar_a_goo_goo_ga Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 For me it would be the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the Apostles on the day of Pentecost. I was thinking that. I'm an atheist so it would be nifty to make sure that I'm right. And if it turns out that I'm wrong I would like to jump ahead 600 years to see Muhammad split the moon. Or the momets before the big bang, to see what caused it. $10 says it had something to do with a redneck and the phrase "y'all watch this!". HA! Link to comment
curiositykilledthecat Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Aside from Calvary I guess I would have liked to go back to The signing of the declaration of independence and the abolotion of slavery. I would also like to meet a few people but that's a different topic all together. Link to comment
guitar_a_goo_goo_ga Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I'd go back and observe the most significant date in history. 26-05-90 My Date of Birth that would be one of the last things i would watch if forced to watch the entire history of everything. Link to comment
Marcus23 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 March 26th 1979 Some of this stuff like the Kennedy shoting, 9/11, watching the pyramind, death of Jesus all seems to sad to really want to see up close. Other things like watching the Big Bang or myself being born is just stuff I wouldnt want to see or is a little to much for me to want to see. My date is the MSU vs ISU NCAA Basketball game. Biggest College game maybe ever played. Add in the fact I bleed Green and this is where I would go If possable. To be in the arena that day and be able to see Magic and Kelser playing against Bird would be amazing. Link to comment
guitar_a_goo_goo_ga Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 ohhh a gladiator fight at the roman colosseum would be fun to see. also, the first homo sapien and the journey through it's life. Link to comment
curiositykilledthecat Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I wouldn't want to see my birth, that means looking at my mother's vag. no thanks... I'm going to bleach my eyes now. Link to comment
Baby Bethany Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'd go back in time to the early 80s when I was at school and leave myself a few packs of decent diapers, just so the teenage me didn't need to keep making them from old towels. Beth Link to comment
Andy Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'd travel to the Monsters Of Rock Festivals in 1988 and 1992 at Donington and the Rock In Rio Festival 1985 Oh and like BabyBeth I'd leave me a pack or two of the lila +10kg Pampers and the biggest Luvs size from then Link to comment
Yvhuce Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I thought we couldn't change things... If we could, then I've got some ships to sink... Link to comment
sarah_ab Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 nope can't change anything.. that means can't leave your younger self any diapers or notes.... Link to comment
ppbenn Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Good topic. There are so many to see. The chicken soup game, Rudy being carried off the field. The first one that came to mind was Lou Gehrigs' farewell speech. You know "Today I consider myself the luckiest man on earth." Link to comment

singner Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I have often thought about that very same question. What could I bear witness to that could truly change the world and make it a better place? I believe I would like to bear witness to The Beginning. The Alpha. The "Big Bang." Chapter 1, Paragraph 1. I'd like to be able to share with the world just how it all began. Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 There's so many things, but really I'd go back 5 years more in age and see: A Beatles concert The Who with Keith Moon on the Drums The Ramone's at CBGB's Black Flag-Descendants-All (I Bill Stevenson on drums!) The B 52's and REM at the 40 Watt Club in Athens Martin Luther King Jr. The end of McCarthyism as it happened The Mick, Jackie Robinson, Lou Gherig, Jolting Joe- Baseball as a Gentleman's sport Europe on the Concorde The Mod's and the Rocker's blowup at Brighton in 64 on a Triton Bettypooh Link to comment
guitar_a_goo_goo_ga Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 i'd also like to see ancient and medieval battles. viking raids on europe. also, i'd like to see if the vikings met any native indians while shortly in north america. king george's reaction upon receiving the declaration of independence. JFK's assassination (i might have to watch that one a couple times) the attack of pearl harbor the UFO crash at roswell the reaction of people when alcohol was discovered various dinosaurs and sea creatures Link to comment
BabyJune Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I'd like to watch my house being built. It was built in 1930, and I wasn't born until 1959. It would be awesome to see what my neighborhood looked like back then. Link to comment
