The beginning of Christianity. It would be interesting to see what really happened with the man named Jesus walked the earth, and how true the Gospel is! I think it would be pretty amazing to witness.

To meet Jesus or even just hear Him speak or see Him with some people. That would be so awesome!

The building of Stonehenge. Because I would carve my name into it somehow so that all the archeaologists investigating it would have something interesting to study. Or I would carve one of those dumb "why did the chicken cross the road?" jokes. That way it really would be 3,000 years old.

You can go back in history through the eyes of those who witnessed significant events or through those who were alive at those times. Sit down with them and let them tell you what happened and how the world reacted and what they feel changed by the event. Young people today can "witness" history by finding such a person and sitting down and intelligently talking to him/her. For example, at 68, I lived though the assination of President Kennedy. We were in Northern Wisconsin for deer season but spent most of our time in the local hotel with many other viewing the TV reports which were sketchy at best. I spoke frequently with my wife on the phone as he was the first President we had been old enough to vote for and we were devastated as was almost everyone else. There was more shock and awe during that weekend then there seemed to be during "9/11" when we had just arrived on a business trip in Las Vegas and awoke to learn of the attack.



I can tell many stories of reactions to the President's death and our feelings while watching the return trip, the funeral and the subsequent events on TV. My high school locker partner was a resident doc in Dallas and was on duty when the President was brought it. When we got together a few years later, we compared feelings about the events we witnessed, he in person and us by TV and media coverage. Others in the room during that discussion were fascinated at the discussion and actually were also able to "witness" some of the events throught our eyes.



I was 7 years old when President Roosevelt suddenly died. There was a long parade down on main street in Milwaukee honoring his passing. I remember everyone's grief and sadness and all the "Movietone News" reports at the theater (we didn't have tv). You can't fully explain these event to people alive now but by talking about your memories you can come pretty close. Try it.



So, if you want to go back in time, find someone who lived or actually experienced significant history and sit down and talk to them. Take notes, record the conversation because as time continues, those who "witnessed" will eventuallay be gone.

Great question! i wonder whether anyone has mentioned President Kennedy's assassination. There is a lot of controversy about it - I would like to see for myself. (I was in Dallas once and visited the site.)



Also, I'd like to witness Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg Address.



You said "witness," not "change," so I won't speculate any further.



PS It looks like JFK did come up already. Probably Lincoln too. Maybe I would like to witness a general place and time rather than an event. See my parents as they were when they were young. Visit a day in my own childhood or see some relatives who have died again, if I could stand the emotions it would stir up. Witness what an average day was like for my ancestors 1,000 years ago, or spend a day in ancient Rome.



Then again, we don't realize how hard life was for most of history, and how "boring" by today's standards. No internet, no mass communications, no grocery stores. Spending the whole day churning butter doesn't sound like much fun. But I suppose when people did go to church, or have a dance, or see a play it was a big deal. Maybe the quiet made them more contented and less stressed people somehow! Even the mass use of the internet is only 10 or 15 years old, and already it's hard to get through a day without goofing off here or looking something up.



Jesus appears to be by far the number one answer, and I would like to witness His life and ministry too. But for Christians we are supposed to already feel His presence and I hope I already do.



The future presents tremendous possibilities, as others have suggested. It's humbling to realize that we're all going to be gone sooner or later and the people of the future will probably look upon us as very primitive.



This is the best question I ever read here. You should get 1,000 extra points!

that numerous times over the years I love the idea of time travel but I could never decide on what. See just one event ,eat just one chip lol ,

never could do either. There are so many interpretations of history it gets one crazy....

so I would like to go back and take notes, photos, and get back with what I learned. I would start with wanting to see the beginning of the universe there are many camps out on that one, but only one is correct. I guess bring along an independent witness so no one could say I altered what I saw. Then go to Egypt circa the time of Moses birth and see how it all unfolded. Then come back and see if the red sea parted as mentioned in the bible. Another trip go to Greece in the time of Hannibal and the trojan horse. I would love to know if Hollywood got any of it right. So much traveling..on to HG Wells to thank him for writing that story that got us all thinking about all this. A witness should be quiet and observe but that is on the old time machine model I have an interactive screen on mine! I would like to see Jesus , follow him for a while maybe go fishing.

A week or two just before the Crusifiction and some time after it.



This is one of the most archaologically undocumented events, when it should have tons of documentation.



Not one person etched the date and time in stone. Not even the Roman's made an entry.



Most of the accounting comes from Peter.



All the documentation comes long after the fact. The New Testitment was not started until 2 or 3 AD.



I might like to stay around long enough to see how this first church actually came about.

Then another time see how the crusades really were, interview some people hoping they will not burn me at the stake first O_- I would find out who built stone henge so all those druids can go home hehe....which would bring me ahead a millenium or so to see who really made those crop circles. I would not go back to change a single thing,it is only to confirm what we teach as history is acurate, I have many more events I would love to check out but this machine needs another over haul,got anymore chips I can't eat just one.

Since any one event is small compared to the total history, and by your question I cannot change history only watch the event, I think I would like to be present when my mother died. She died before I could get there, and I know she was finally free of all the pain and suffering she was going through. Now if I could change history, I think maybe killing Hitler before he got powerful, but with the ability to see what happens and then the option to change it if things got worse. How they could get worse I do not know, but they might have.

I would like to go back to ancient Rome and witness when Ceasar Augustus rose to power after the murder of his uncle Julius Ceasar. Ceasar Augustus' reign was a very beneficial one for the people of Rome and started Pax Romana which lasted for the next several hundred years. To be able to see some of the most popular people in history would be very exciting; Mark Anthony, Cleopatra, Octavian (Ceasar Augustus), and many more.

There are a lot of people and events I would like to go back and see.



Probably the top one would have to be to go back to when Jesus was alive and watch his preaching. Unfortunately, I am sure it would make me very depressed to see how perverted his words have become from their original.



Other influential people I would like to see include: Thomas Jefferson and John Adams (and most of the other members of the Continental Congress), King Arthur (if he existed), Lincoln and others.



Events I would also like to see would be: the raising of the Pyramids in Egypt, ditto on Stonehenge, the Big Bang (or whatever else started this mess).

What a great question... and a tough one, there are so many things I would love to have witnessed.



I think one would be the painting of the Sistine Chapel. But I think that what I would most truly like to witness would be one of the Bible's miracles. Most of all the parting of the Red Sea. Mostly to see if, in fact, it really did happen, and if it did, can you just imagine how awe stricken you would be??

I'm assuming we would witness the event and then return?

I would like to witness the last few days of Jesus and His resurrection. To see the suffering He endured for us and then come back and tell it like it really was and the depth of it all, seeing the angel roll the stone away and seeing death and the devil defeated. Now, that's what I'm talking about!

There are a lot of historical moments that I could say to gain the best answer position. But in reality and on a real tip...I genuinely would love to go back to a time when my mother was a teenager and hang out with her.



To find out what she was REALLY like in her vunerable teen years would be invaluable to me to get to know the real her.



Thanks for such a good question!!

The birth of my great(x whatever) my great uncle, Oceanus Hopkins on the Mayflower.



The birth of the United States is based on the voyage of my family on that ship. My immediate family now,(present day), includes so many different nationalities. I have so many different points of view of what is going on today, sometimes I want to go to that beginning.



It is not that I would change anything, or say anything. Just seeing, hope being born, ....Americans in the making.........?



I am proud of all the elements that bore me, yet this moment in time was such a historical milestone I can actually lay claim to.



I ask myself, would they be proud of me as a descendant? They are Puritans..........most likely they would not be. And then I would show them how their act of rebellion created this nation.



Yeah...........to see Oceanus be born. I want to see it!

I would like to back to London after 1838 to witness the phenomenon of Spring Heeled Jack. If there ever was one.

Or meet Gilles de Rais, and decide for myself if he really was the monster everyone claimed. There is a lot of speculation that he didn't really commit the crimes of which he was accused and that he only confessed to protect his family. All evidence supports he was an innocent man who happened to have a powerful enemy, who falsely accused him of witchcraft. It would be nice if his name could be cleared after so many centuries.

I would love to go back to when Martin Luther King Jr was alive. It would be such a joy to hear his earth moving speeches, his heart warming love flowing for all mankind, and to hear his dream of all races coming together and smiling because I could show him pictures of how it was all worth while. I would witness standing up for what you believe in at all cost. A time when black people knew how to come together for once in their lives. It would be so remarkable to witness such a fight for freedom, a great part of history to partake of. When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr did reign for us all.

Point is nobody stays there except with partner, many want to see folks in past, buit are they really there or is this the expected outcome of literature and historians.

Now many see and remember through genes and cortex past events and history as we see it. Sure there are some excerpts in mind: the first time we made love, our first war and our most heroic experience.

Personally we want to see our planet before lies and refrain carried together into oblivion. We already see other times and sure see in advance simpathy towards us. Before undertakers and proxenets got their way out many did carry their lifes in a simple affair. Some still do so now.

I think I would like to see Atlantide in war or effecting one of their operations on defeated. They are so cute, I can see them now.

I would like to have witnessed the "end of the world", which took place in 1844, and the Declaration of Baha'u'llah, who declared that He was the Promised One of all ages/all religions, who had come to unite the world into the Brotherhood of Man that Jesus promised, and that He had brought the blueprint for the building of the Kingdom of God on Earth, as it is in heaven, that Christ promised.



Not only Christ, but all the Divine Messengers of God promised a time of brotherhood and the Kingdom of God on Earth. The Hindus are awaiting the "Reincarnation of Krishna", the Jews are awaiting "The Messiah", the Buddhists are awaiting "The Fifth and Most Great Buddha, the Buddha Maitre", the Christians are awaiting "The Return of Christ", and the Moslems are awaiting "The Twelfth Imam".



Baha'u'llah claimed He was the return of the Promised One of all of those Religions; because, in reality, there is only one religion--the religion of God, progressively revealed to man through the various great world religions. Each of them are succeeding chapters in the one holy book of God.



The year 1290 from the proclamation of the mission of Muhammad was the year 1280 of the Hejira, or 1863-64 of our era. It was at this epoch (April 1863) that Baha'u'llah, on leaving Baghdad for Constantinople, declared to those who surrounded Him that He was the Manifestation announced by the Bab.



It is this declaration which the Baha'is celebrate by the Feast of Ridvan, this name being that of the garden at the entrance of the city, where Baha'u'llah stayed during twelve days, and where He made the declaration.

Not happy moments in my life. They are better as memories.

Nor glorious chapters in history. Perhaps when I see what actually happend vis-a-vis what the hisorians described I may be disillusioned. I would prefer to wallow in bill of ignorance.



If I can really delve into the past I would like to see the first stirring of the first Men(Not Adam,silly!) How they stood up perhapswith still a slouch in their posture and walk but standing erect and enjoying the first few diffident steps.I am filled with motherly instinct to think of that toddler(even if I am a male and perhaps great raised to n th degree of grandson..He might have fallen down losing his balance which he was still learning to acquire. He might have been hurt with nobody to pacify him or her(I rather like to think of the individual as a female contrary tothe biblical story). His/her mother might have been moved by compassion but it must have been much too inchoate. Have you ever seen a hen incubating her eggs and would fight with anybody to protect them. But the same mother, in case one egg rolls down from the place where she had laid eggs, it would go out of her stream of consciousness and she would not even mind to pierce it with her beak and such the juice inside.The emotions are still deep in the womb of time. I would even trade my soul(if I have a soul) with Satan(if there is a Satan) to have a look at that scene beatific holding within its womb the Ascent of Man.So help me God or even Satan!

They also mentioned that the last of the Gentlemen died with that ship.

I would like to go back to:

1. Seeing Saddam sitting in that hole like the rat he is

2. Being at the World Trade Center on 9/11/01 to see what really happened

3. Watching the Universe being created

4. Go to the Mesozoiac period to see what dinosaurs REALLY looked like

5. Sailing with Columbus to "discover" America

6. See the first instant the Sun started its life, like watching the sunrise in the morning

I know it was only supposed to be one, but with so much stuff to see, it is hard to make only one decision.

BTW, he died from this GSW to the head when he was 16, but they were not able to rule out executionism!, the police thought there was fowl play but wasn't sure who it was!(not sure why, the battery charger that they stole - the same night - they let the cable hang when they drug it home, IT LED RIGHT TO THEIR HOUSE!)

There is no event in history that is worth witnessing. History has been written, and to witness it gives the feeling of wanting to change it. History should never be changed as all choices were right regardless of the price.



Get your heads out of the past that is written. Quit seeking vengeance or glory over what has been done. Press forward to the future for it has not been written, and sitting around reading the past means we are not standing up to make the future.



The events I want to witness are the events of tomorrow and what we and our children can do that yesterday we could only dream of.



Those who study the past are doomed to repeat it. They never learned from the past they studied. Seeking justice for events of the past is called revenge.
