so:
What Historical Event Would You Rather Witness?
(past event that is) Completely invisible and able
to observe history as it unfolds around you without
being bothered.

Death of Jesus Christ or Battle of Gettyburg or Death
of Socrates or some Decleration of Independence or
maybe something else?

I am a fast thinker.

I'd have liked to have seen the Bolshevik Revolution too, see what was going on there...

PH, if you're interested in that go and read a book by John Reed.

For me: January 18, 1871, Versailles... although that must have been boring..

I'd want to see all of it.

But if I had to pick one.... the Battle of Actium (or whatever it was) between the Romans and the Egyptians would be very interesting.

If i can pick a future event: The death of the last human being.


Otherwise, the first fire created by a human.

Your choices are all crap.

I would have loved to witnessed Pearl Harbor.

Oh but 9/11 was good. I can tell my kids (presuming I have any) all kinds of storys.

Okay, here's my idea... I would like to witness Napoleon and Josephine going at it. It's got to be good for a laugh.

The death of Christ, with a continuous view of the tomb for the next three days. And I'd like my fundy Christian brother there with me. Depending on what we saw, one of us would have to seriously rethink his beliefs.

I believe it was Michelangelo that scultped David?

Or am I just getting confused... ?

I really have no idea which event I'd like to see. The fact is that there are so many really great ones, and I couldn't possibly make a decision like that. So I'll stick with my Napoleon one.... or maybe the birth of the first idiot? That's going WAAAAYYY back though.

What would you find interesting in watching Michelangelo sculpt David? It's a rather long process... And from what I've read about the guy, he wasn't too pleasant to be around either.

Holy crap, you read my mind totally. Just yesterday I was thinking of posting almost the exact same thread, except I was going to say any 3 events, and they had to take place in 24 hours or less. My 3 top would be:

1) JFK's assassination, and I'd keep my eyes on the grassy knoll
2) The Lost Dutchman Gold Mine. I'd follow them there, draw a map, remember it all, goddarnit.
3) Those missing 18 minutes of the Nixon tapes.

You can see I'd rather solve a historical mystery than just witness some cool events. I thought about witnessing disasters such as the Titanic, Pompeii, etc., but I really have no desire to see people die (Ok, but the JFK thing is DIFFERENT). Although, Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg is sorely tempting. But I can do without the mental scarring such events inflicted.

Oh wait I forgot! Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Wooo, that's rich!

I was actually going to say the JFK assassination so I could find out what REALLY happened, but then I decided I didn't want to waste it on that. That's like having a genie grant you one wish and you pick a ham sandwich...

Hum...
