    If you could go back in time and see three different things that happened what would they be?

    Verbi Gratia:
    1. The Beatles playing a concert.
    2. The signing of The Declaration of Independence.
    3. The Sphinx in it's prime.

    Rules: (because most things like this have them.)
    1. You are merely a spectator, therefore you can not interact with anything/one.
    2. You may not bring anything with you, there or back.
    3. It can be any point in time that has already come and passed. (And no saying "Time is an illusion")
     
    Maybe the biblical times, it'd be fun to see the sea split in two xD If you don't believe in the Bible don't argue with me, don't want to start a flame war.
     
    Would've been cool to see Kurt Cobain and Nirvana perform.

    Idk, maybe see who really killed JFK?

    Dinosaurs.

    I agree, that would be pretty cool.

    If not, I guess I would like to go back in time and see my history teacher. He fought in Vietnam and it would be cool to see him then.
     
    1. Grand opening of the Quality Suites in Pineville NC.
    2. Some anime convention back in the early 2000's so I could start going when I was younger.
    3. Watch the last Buick Roadmaster roll off the assembly line in 1996.
     
    1. Go back to 1066 and watch the battle of Hastings.
    2. Probably go back to see the land of the dinosaurs?
    3. Go back to Biblical times and see most of the events unfold.
     
    1. Seeing Justin Bieber performing in Australia when he got attacked by eggs.

    2. Attending the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games (duh, I'm a Sydney girl so it fits)

    3. The Beatles landing in the US for the first time.
     
    I'd like to see the first Olympic Games ever. I'd also like to see Marie Curie discover whatever she discovered. Lastly, I'd like to see myself being born.
     
    01. I wish I could go back and watch "Reign in Pain Tour" a good tour with Slayer, back when Thrash was at its best

    02. Watch the very first world cup final Argentina vs Uruguay in 1930

    03. I would like to go back 65 million years ago and see if a meteor really hit the earth back then
     
    1. Seeing the death of JFK.
    2. Seeing if Jesus really existed (Don't start to bash on this, if you do. I'm not going to bother to reply)
    3. Go back to the 80's to see graffiti's golden era.
     
    1. See the dinosaurs.
    2. See the first olympic games ever.
    3. Kill a king like...dunno...a french king? Louis XVI?
     
    1. - See the Rodney King riots.
    2. - See what the 60s were like firsthand.
    3. - Go back to the ice age and see how humans managed to get through that kind of hell.
     
    Dinos for sure!!
    The building of stonehenge (why is it even there?!)
    hmm.. I'm stuck on this last one.. maybe something like the first moon landing? Or the loch ness monster photograph?
    Or maybe go back to the like.. 1600s and see all the fancy garb!
    I can't decide on this last one!
     
    1) Dinosaurs. Just to see them in the flesh and bone and scale and not recreations on a TV screen. Obviously they were big critters, but looking a T-Rex in the eyes would just be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

    2) First production of Macbeth. It's definitely my favourite Shakespeare play and rightly seen as a classic, but I really wonder what the first audience would have made of it all those centuries ago. Obviously, they would have seen it as just another play, but would it have moved them in the way that it moves so many people today?

    3) Studio 54 from 1977 - 1981. Allllll the celebrities and alllllll the cocaine! The birth of disco. So many famous faces drugged up to their eyeballs. It'd be fascinating to be a fly on the wall in such an over-the-top environment!
     
    KISS's first ever performance in concert.

    The Medieval Times - always wanted to see what it was like since I learned about it in 7th grade.

    & see my great-grandfather, because I never really got to know him all too well, and he died when I was barely a year old. My dad always told me he was an amazing person. (I want to at least see what he looked like in person, not interact with him or anything. You know, as interacting would pretty much alter the past & stuff lol)
     
    Malcolm X' speech at Oxford.

    The Liberation of Paris.

    Woodstock festival.

    20th century history feels most relevant and most interesting to me. Can't beat a good motivating speech, liberation or festival; maximum feel good moments.
