After thinking about it, for my assignment of 691 B.C., I will travel to the heart of Mayan Civilization, which was at the height of its power. With my white skin, I will be worshipped as a God. Perhaps Kukulcan, who the Mayan's described as having white skin (check), blue eyes (check) and white hair (nope, but I could dye it I guess) in his human form.
My mission while I'm with the Mayans is to preserve as many of the Mayan Codices as I can. When the Spanish arrived in the early 1500s they burned almost all of the Mayan Codices, as well as Aztec and Olmec writings, which represents a huge blow to our understanding of the Meso-American cultures today.
