bump for deep thought.

I would have liked to see the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs hit Mexico, BUT I'd not want to wait around long.

When the time machine is invented, I will visit the year 3000...

...and go to a library to research the historical movements of the US stock market from 2007-2050.

:-P

Come and get me in 1981. I hated the 80s.

79 A.D. to see Pompeii the week before Vesuvius erupts.

If you were able to travel back in time, consider that only after the Pentecost, after the Cross, did the Holy Spirit indwell the believer. This was a unique aspect of the mystery Church Age, which never before occurred in human history. It effects the anthropology of man.

The Incarnation occurred in the fullness of times.

Would one really want to journey back prior to that time?

[discostu]

I'd go for historically less significant but more entertaining. Like attending at least one show on the original Wall tour, maybe the Monterey Pop Festival (most of the same good acts as Woodstock, better weather), see Yul Brenner in a stage production of King and I. Fun stuff. Most of the big events in history I'd have to spend a couple of years studying the language to avoid just watching people speak gibberish, unless we invented the universal translator first.

~33AD Resurrection of Jesus, central event in all of human history

[KevinDavis]

I would go to these destinations:

1. 10,000 BC so I could find the exact loction of Atlantis
2. 1776 see the signing of the Declration of Independce and maybe give our side some "advance" weapons...
3. 3000 I would like to see how we progressed as a society...

May 25, 1975 Earls Court, London, England --Led Zeppelin in their prime

March 2002, Albany New York -- Cael Sanderson finishes his college wrestling career undefeated.

October 26, 1881 Tombstone Arizona -- Shootout at the O.K. Corral from a safe distance.

June 16-18, 1967 Monterey, California Monterey Pop Festival -- The Who and Jimi Hendrix specifically but lots to love here

August 10, 1776 London England -- King George the Third gets the Declaration of Independence.

[SunkenCiv]

Hendrix. A bunch of other musicians.

That would take me a few years of time travel trips.

Tuscany, during the Renaissance. I'd like to snap some photos of various lost works (and faces), such as the cartoons da Vinci and Michelangelo made for their face-off over the Battle of Angiari, and in Milan, the clay model of da Vinci's horse sculpture.

Tiahuanaco in its heyday. Ditto, Teotihuacan.

Rome during the Julio-Claudian dynasty, again during the reign of Trajan, and once more during the reign of Aurelian.

Carthage at its foundation and at its peak, and Troy during the Trojan War.

Giza plateau, dropping in at various times over a period of sixty years while the pyramids were going up.

Stonehenge under construction.

And of course, the obvious one, photographing all the ancient Seven Wonders. :')

2. Late 19th century America - to witness the still young country rising to prominince and power

I would choose this. I would also make sure that the Republican Congress didn't compromise with the Southern Demoncrats threatening a filibuster over election results (Florida was one of the contested races) and come up with the Compromise of 1877 so that the South would have stayed Republican with lots of newly freed blacks in their elected seats. I would also love to attend the 1894 World Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
