    What period would you want to go to?
    Just to start off the answers:

    I'd like to see Ancient Egypt.

    The way of seeing the very foundations of civilization, the conception of the great pyramids and the elaborate tombs created by the peoples of the time.

    Would love to visit Ancient Rome and see the Colosseum come to life (as long as I'm not actually fighting as a gladiator!)

    World war 1 and 2, that would blow my mind!

    Can you just imagine? london in chaos, looking up in the sky and seeing the dog fights, seeing the normandy landing with your own eyes. The battle of the somme, dont get me wrong it would be terrifying and not a 'pleasant' thing but it would be truely spectacular from a historical perspective if you were like just there (couldnt be killed) like a bit like Dumbledore's pensieve.

    1960's and live onwards from there, seeing beatles/led zeppelin/pink floyd live, will do me just fine, and I get to win millions in correctly guessing the outcomes of various sporting events...(and lottery numbers)

    VE Day. :daydreaming:

    Or some random time in 1944 during WWII so I could be one of the young women ravaged by an American soldier in Hyde Park.

    The future of course.

    Why does everyone want to dwell on the past?

    The late 80's/90's, for the music. Or the beginning of the world/universe to see how it was actually created

    Feudal Japan. The only problem is that I'm black though; but I figure, if they let Tom cruise become a samurai, why not me?
