    Well, for me I would love to be able to go back in time 30,000 years and spend time with Cro-Magnon man, the first modern Europeans. I'd love to be able to see now extinct animals like the woolly mammoth, woolly rhino, cave lion and giant deer; and of course there's the added bonus of being able to spend time with the Neanderthals and learn all about their culture, and their language, and maybe why they died out. Good question Tammy smile

      Great ideas. You would have to be very brave to go back to that period, but it would be awesome to see a giant deer.

    I would love to go to September 29th 855 A.D, when Benedict III was elected as Pope from Catholic Rome. Rumor has it that in 855 Johannes III Became Pope as well. The reason I want to be there at that time and hour, is because they said this Pope was a woman. Was Benedict III this 'Joan' or Johannes III?

    I actually did go back, had the chance to time travel (won it at a poker game......., HIGH STAKES poker game). I actually went back to 3114 BC and re-wrote the Mayan Long count calendar, just to see how to the world would react. Been interesting so far.

      That is hilarious howlermunkey. You could have lots of fun adding things to the calendar just to freak people out. That would be a fun hub.

    This might sound like I am not answering the question, but I do understand it. I simply would not go back... I can study it and learn about it, but to travel to the future... now that would be great!

    Four to five thousand years ago in Europe, Egypt, the Middle East, and India to find out just exactly who the Gods, demigods, and prophets really were.

    I would go to Jerusalem in 33 AD and settle this whole region question once and for all.
