When and where would you like to go in the World's history?


I would like to be around to have seen the aliens build those pyramids in Ancient Egypt.

All the history I know is from Mel Brooks History of the World Part 1  :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

As much as I would like to see a dinasour, I don't want to go back and then be squashed or eaten by one. So I would like to  meet either Albert Einstein, the Wright Brothers, Henry Ford, or Ben Franklin. Tough Call really

I have a lot.

I would love to experience America before Europeans arriving.
I would love to sit (or stand) in the Globe and watch a Shakespeare play on opening night.
I would love to see Jane Austen era-England, Heck, if I am going to be there, I want to have dinner with Jane, her mother and Cassandra.
I would love to have been there on the opening night of RENT when it was off-broadway.  yeah, I know.  strange.
I would love to be living in Monmartre, Paris preferrably with Gertruide Stein around 1890-1910ish - because if I am around her, I am around everyone.
I would love to have been around to see my Grandmother's Community Camp that I have heard all kinds of stories about...

Yeah - I am a dreamer.

I would like to live when my grandmother lived...1902 - 2005. Yes, she lived 103 years and was active up to 3 weeks before she died at my aunt's home. She saw the introduction of so many modern conveniences that we take for granted.

Quite a coincidence, my grandmother also lived to be 103. She lived alone until she was well into her 90's and still cooked with lard. She didn't have indoor plumbing until the 1960's and still cooked on a woodburning stove until the 1970's.

I am fine in this era, thanks!  In the 19th century and before, my ancestors were slaves, deprived of any rights and robbed of their ancient cultures and languages.  This is the era in which it is okay to be black, so I'm staying right here! (Plus the modern conveniences, right, Rerun?)

I find AlohaBeth's answer intriguing... how did women fare in America before Europeans arrived?

She was referring to "indians" vs "native Americans"   We have large communities od Native Americans in North Carolina with a long history of displacment and unfair treatment.  Right now the Lumbee tribe is fighting to get federal status as a recognized tribe.  They were here long before any explorers "discovered" America.

You quoted glitter, so maybe the two posts were mixed up.  Beth was responding to Mimi's post about fighting the indians.   Don't get the girl started on anything to do with human rights!  She will stand up for anyone she sees being wronged.  She is a very strong, passionate, compassionate person.    Guess I could let her talk for herself :rofl;    Hope that clears that up. :thumbup;

Sorry, but I am part Cherokee. My college alma mater recently changed the name from Indians to Patriots. I do appreciate what North Carolina has done for the Cherokee. I visit the casino every time I go to Gatlinburg.
