    I would time travel to the past to 2700 BC to watch how the ancient Egyptians were building the first pyramids. I believe aliens help build them, because each block weighed up to 15 tons and there is no way a human could lift them. I’ve been to Egypt and I have seen the pyramids and I think they are huge.

    For me it would be the past, that would be because If we knew more about our past we could learn on the bad things that happened like WW1 and 2. Also going back too the past could save us time by sharing our science from the future. Another thing that would be really good for past humanity too know would be democracy. :greyalien:

    I like the pyramids idea. I didn't even think of that. I remember seeing a documentary not too long ago where they were saying that the pyramids might be a whole lot older than originally believed. There's no way people dragged these blocks and aligned them with greater precision than we can do today using heavy machinery. Heck, there are many ancient stones that we can't lift using the most powerful equipment on the Earth, let alone transport the pieces, and then align/cut them with such precision. It's really ridiculous the more you look into it.

    If you get to go back to see it don't forget the tin-foil hat. It might come in handy.

    There is a guy that showed how easy it can be to move a large block. He has them set up in his yard. His grand kids can move a block that is a few tons or so with ease. I have watched many things on it and many show how they would have done it. It would be nice to see it done in person in a way.

    I would like to see the early days of trains and cars.

    For me, I would prefer to travel to the time of the old and new testament when the Lord was directly talking to his people, so that I can witness firsthand the miracles and destruction that He did during that time. I would also love to be able to talk to Jesus if given the chance.

    I would be to0 afraid of embarrassing myself. I mean, what would you say?

    "Heeeeyyy. So.........um, how's it going? Does manna come in different flavors?" See, I wouldn't know what to say or ask, other than one heck of a big thank-you. After that, I think I would just shut up and maybe learn something. I would still want to know about the flavors of manna, though. Beef, chicken, and chocolate is all I need.

    I would have like to have gone back into the past. Witness the life of Jesus Christ here on earth would have been interesting. The formation of the United States with the founding fathers would also be an interesting point in history to witness.

    I would prefer a journey to the future because I know few things about the past but don't know anything about the future. I wonder, to what extent the science and technology grow.

    Likewise, I would also go back to the time of Jesus where he is still spreading his words to his children and to witness as well his glorious miracles and everything good that he had done in this world.

    Yeah, wouldn't it be nice to ask him what really happens to us when we die? And all about heaven, hell, and purgatory?

    limcid, I would actually ask God how come He's so silent now whereas before He would talk to his people directly. I would ask why He changed His style. There would be no atheists if He was that audible and visible and miracles are common happenings.

    It looks like most of us would rather visit some time in the past, and I think that I would rather do that too. With all of the new things being developed nowdays, who knows how hard it would be to visit the future and fit in.
    One of my favorite movies, Demolition Man, certainly give a good idea of just how hard that might be for us to do.

    I would go to the past, but not so far back. I think it would be great to have known my parents when they were young and growing up. They were in their 40s before I was even born, so by the time I really remember much of them, they were already pretty old. I think it would be awesome to have met my mother when she was a teenager. She was a great mother, and a very wise person, and there are so many things I never asked my parents when they were still alive, so this would be my way of learning more about my past , as well.

    Soon? Like how soon? I think the 2nd coming will happen quite far from our present time.. I think that it will happen in the very distant future.

    I'd like to travel to the past: my past. There are so many things I'd love to fix there, so many bad decisions I took and I'm now regretting so much! But oh well... what is done is done :D It's be nice to really be able to do this tho. There are so many things I'd like to say to the 10 year old me; so many useful advices! I don't think that would help me too much tho... I've always been so stubborn, so I'm not sure if I'd actually listen to myself :roflmao:

    I'd just steal the TARDIS and travel all over. I'd probably have more than one place I'd want to visit. It'd be interesting to go back in time and see myself younger, too.

    I'd like to travel to the past, my teenage to adult years. I would undo all the silly things I did. Those were some crazy years when I thought I knew everything and know one had the right to try and tell me otherwise. Luckily, by the time I came to my senses no major damage was done but it would still be nice to go back and erase those memories.
