What historic event would you like to have witnessed?
 

Spinoff from the concert thread....

If there was a significant historical event that you could have been at live and in person (with no chance of dying or having any harm befall you) - what would it be?

And to make it interesting, you can witness this event by going back in time, and having all the knowledge you currently have carry with you to that place and time where the event occurred.

This is not a "prevent it from happening" opportunity - just as a witness.


My first thoughts - would have to be the last supper (and days following crucifixion) and the JFK assasination.

What say you?

The moment Arthur Bryant first perfected BBQ.

2 girls 1 cup

My parents' first date.

cool choice!:thumb:

The Crucifixion

Hitler's suicide

When the first person made fire.

Great post.
The resurrection of Christ.

The whole Jesus timeline seems too easy, so I'll consider it noted. October 19, 1781 Yorktown seems well worth witnessing.

Wright brothers take flight

D day..Gettysburg..Pearl Harbor..on the plane that dropped the atom bombs..Battle of Thermopylae..ride across the ocean on the Mayflower..Battle of Mogadishu..the battle with Marcus Luttrell..and to hang out with Einstein when he discovered E=mc2

Moon landing

Yep...thought of this as well....along with many Lewis and Clark moments.

Seeing sights and land for the first time (or at least first documented time) must have been an experience that words couldnt possibly do justice.

Which studio? :Poke:

The big bang

No, really.

It would be easier to explain it in class and prove it happened.

1. Building of the Great Pyramid.
2. Beginning of the Bronze Age (first person to make a bronze weapon), as long as I can stay a couple of days to watch how they live.
3. Discussion meetings regarding the Declaration of Independence
4. Caligula naming a horse to the Senate (and then perhaps one of his after-parties)
5. Columbus' discovery of the Americas.
