If you could go back in time, what historical event would you like to witness and who would you like to meet?

I'd like to see the Battle of Waterloo, and I'd like to meet Oliver Cromwell

Honestly I would like to go back to 1923. Then grow up to help the war effort. By 1941 Pearl Harbor would have been attack (Not a good thing at all) and I could have joined the Air Force.

If I could meet anyone it would be Robert E. Lee. He is was one of the greatest military strategist's in U.S history.

I listened to that from tape, and I also listened to the Declaration of War against Imperial Japan.

I'd love to go back to 1969, to go to Woodstock.
And I would have loved to meet Kurt Cobain.

The day before time started.
The moment Moses talked to the Burning Bush
The moment Moses parted the Red Sea
Watch Jesus explain himself as the son of God
Witness that whole Noah's Arc thing
During the time the Mayan's decided 2012 was the end of the world, I'd go up to the smartest one and bitch slap him

Just to put a stop to all this craziness....

I'd like to go back to 1989 and be in Berlin when the Wall came down. A person I'd like to meet would be Abraham Lincoln.

Either back to the days of the Roman invasion of Britain, where I would join up with the ancient British barbarians and die there, or Back to Jesus' lifetime, so I could watch Him and see Him in the flesh.

I would like to go back and see Abraham Lincoln give his first inauguration speech.
I would like to meet Benjamin Franklin, since he must be the most interesting, smartest, and most enlightened person who has ever lived on the continent.

Though not a single event, I would love to witness the collapse of the Classic Maya in the ninth century.

Or the creation of the universe. c:

Person-wise, definitely Hypatia of Alexandria.

Back before humans (or at least before civilisation). Just me and the Earth - no pollution, clean air, pure water, prehistoric creatures, beautiful landscapes.

November 1989. Collapse of the Berlin Wall, then wait until July 1990 for the concert at Potsdamer Platz where Roger Waters performed The Wall in entirety.

Person I'd meet...there are so many; but I would like to meet either FDR or JFK.

person? baby Jesus.

That actually made me lol. And I'm a Christian.

I would love to see a government be overthrown. Doesn't matter which one.

As for the person? Probably Gandhi. I'll have to think about it more though.
