discussion If You Could Experience Any Moment in History Firsthand, Which Would You Choose and Why?

[Joesilvestri]

there are quite a few important historical events i'd love to have seen firsthand, however the first thing that comes to mind although not of much important as others, I wanna see the moment Julius Caesar was trying to convince his legion to join him cross the rubicon river and march on Rome as a declared criminal, must've been an intense and risky position to be in, I just wanna hear the speech that somehow convinced them it was right to join his rebellion against the senate.

My 21st birthday with a list of winning lottery numbers. Might not change anything, but I would have a lot of fun while I was there.

That's the answer. Research the last X winning lottery numbers, pick a historical event that coincided with a convenient time in your life and relive the rest of it on easy mode. Bravo

The arrival of Europeans in America, to see what the first encounter with the natives was like and how everything unfolded after that.

Tauromachia in Minoan Crete. Anyway, it would be interesting to walk around Knossos in its heyday, because we know almost nothing about the daily life of the Minoans.

First flight of an airliner.

Maybe just after WWII. We talk shit about the baby boomers now, but they could actually afford decent housing.

I would go back to before the Last Glacial Period ended about 12000 years ago and see what the world was like back then..

I would go back to the day of the Gettysburg address if only to hear it from the mouth of Abraham Lincoln.

Great performances... Seeing Shakespeare performed live... Various musicians... Gladiators... Huge list. Experiential things.

There is so much in history id love to see. The Whitehouse burning down so I have even more reason to hate the British Empire. Watch the first plane be flown. See the Library of Alexandria burn and watch as all the information is lost. Honestly just go back to random times and watch how life was so different to today. See the start and end of WWI and WWII. Watch the Berlin wall fall.

Ultimately id love to just watch history as a whole and see what truly transpired.
