   I would like very much to have walked with Yehoshua of Nazareth. Perhaps I wasn't ready back then, but if he were to come through my neighborhood today. I'd jump at the chance.

      @lone77star, I think "then" would have been a much better time to walk along side Him, His second coming...He isn't coming to play nice exactly, but I understand your meaning.

      @JThomp42....hang on for the ride bruddah, because when that moment arrives, they entire world as we know it, is going to witness it at exactly the same time. I'm sure the experience is truly going to be the all time "jaw-dropper".

   I would want to go  back to when the victors marched through Rome after the sacking of the temple.  Find out if they had the ark of the covenant as depicted on the Arch of Titus.

   I just had a conversation this afternoon with a friend about what the next 20 years will bring and we talked about genetically altered babies, 3-D printing of houses as opposed to building them and artificial intelligence equal to that of humans and you know what?  I think right now is the moment in history that I want to witness.

      @wandererh...I'm with you on the NOW thing. Spiritually speaking for myself, I am not to interested in the future as the rest of the world is. I am already jipped, cause when I was in elementary, NOW was the "Jetson's" like era I was hoping to be in.

      I didn't watch many episodes of the Jetson's whenI was young, but I suspect that some of what we have now might not have been in the Jetson's.

   This is the moment in history I would love to have witnessed:
   
   Just minutes after I was born, the look in my father's eyes when my mother first showed me to him.

    I would have liked to have been able to hang around when this country first officially became it's own nation. My favorite president ever was Thomas Jefferson, and I'd love to know what was going on in his mind when he worked on writing the Declaration of Independence.

       Oh he was a bad ass...one of the nations biggest land owner, and slave owner, and marijuana crop grower, and he shot a man for treason on the White House lawn. "all men are created equal" you think he giggled when he wrote it?

       There is no evidence that this event ever occurred.  The story originated in the movie Swordfish.  Historians have poured over the books but have found no proof of it.

       never gave the movie much thought...its just that I remember reading on Rodney Cox selling info to the Tories about the security of American shores, and Jefferson was part of the firing squad when Cox was found guilty, and yaddah-yaddah-yaddah.

    I would love to see some of the most ancient civilizations, that is not been recorded in history.  China, Egypt and greek are only the oldest civilization recorded in history, there are many ancient cities that are significantly older, some found by archaeologist are over 20000 years old!!!  The one they found in northern Turkey a few years ago, is the size of London and is build over 25000 years ago. I would love to visit one of these ancient civilization (providing they don't practice e.g. cannablism)
