Time travel?

Weekly Topic: If you could go back in time, when would it be?

Sep 13, 2021

If you could travel back in time, WHEN would it be?

That is a really hard question to answer. Perhaps harder for me than most, as I did a major in history at university when I was younger. And which historian (or would be historian) would give up the chance to see the building of the Athenian Parthenon, Roman Forum, or Todaiji of Nara.

And then there is Natural History. I don’t know about you…but I would like to see a Dinosaur. Haven’t we seen CGI and puppet, and anime representations of Dinosaurs since we were young children? Who hasn’t seen a single scene of Jurassic Park, or some similar movie? But did the dinosaurs really look like that? I’d just like to check, to be sure.

Then there is family history. I feel its important to at least have an idea of where your family comes from. I’d probably go back to the time when I was a little kid, and would ask my relatives as many questions as I could, to learn more and more. That would be fun.
