If you could witness any point in history...

[E-Raser]

Gatling - relatively easy.
Ammunition for Gatling - relatively difficult (particularly in large quantities).

If you have enough slaves nothing is as easy as make big quantities.
The technic of ammuntion is also half that big trouble. If you know how to handle iron it is not this difficult.
And if this would fail, even an army musketeers would be without competition,
first row knee, second stands- fire
The Spanish conquistadores have proven how some firepower effects warriors facing it the first time.

Take a big chemical enzoclopedia with yourself and you'll make those ancient ppl believe you're god.
If even Cesar and Augustus managed to become gods, without this knowlage...

I've seen it originally
But in fact I'd prefer the historic moment of myself winning the fabulous 23Mil € jackpot at the lotterie!

Bah...But did you have the Door's "Break on Through" playing in the background?

 

[E-Raser]

Bah...But did you have the Door's "Break on Through" playing in the background?

No, why? You consider it too much profan?
Well, I'll tell you I've seen the Berlin wall falling down live 3D and coloured, I smelled it. Wouldn't like to miss it but easily would sell this ticket for a appropriate amount of money. (Would like to know 'bout what's this worth on eBay )
But in fact what did it change? Nothing. Wheather I've witnessed it or not my life is still the same. So I'd anyway prefer a serious win in a lottery rather than witness how Cesar was knifed down- or else 'important' BS.
If you think it differently, sorry but your just plain stupid

Well, you could make a lot of money on selling the knife that stabbed Julius!

 

[E-Raser]

Well, you could make a lot of money on selling the knife that stabbed Julius!

Yeah, right, but you'd also be able to PROOF it was exactly this knife.
But this makes a good idea to me
May be I'd take one of the knifes from my kitchen and announces it exactly this way at eBays. So many ppl but a crap for so big money there.
I am almost sure some stupid will get this thing for at least paying my flat one moth
Thanks for this input m8, you're always welcome

Hey guess what? You can also make a lot of money by retrieving the gun which John Wilkes Booth used to shoot President Lincoln!

I would go back and observe various pivitol points in my life from an outside perspective.

And I would go chill with Thomas Edison.

And I would go back to the beginning of humanity and bag some prehistoric babes (or wait, just as an observed... well I'd still be curious to see how our ansectors lived).

And I'd go to ancient Rome, during it's peak & during it's downfall.

I think I could learn a lot about the nature of mankind!

Cool thread!

 

[hbdragon88]

I'd probably like to visit Sylvia Plath, one of my favorite authors.

I'd also like to go along with Harry Truman's "give 'em hell" campaign. When I read that in my history book (how he beat Dewey), I was laughing so hard...

 

[Red Threat]

The Comune of Paris... I would have taken part in it.

 

[HamaticBabylon]

I don’t understand why people find it hard to believe that the carthagians were the victims of a vicious war machine aka Rome! That’s all the Roman Empire was a “fighting machine”. Curt you are Scottish by breed then you too must hate Rome. For the cults and barbaric Saxons fought the Romans in Hannibal’s missionary infantry armies.

To see the destruction of the city of Rome would have been the greatest site on earth in 224 B.C.

 

[Oruc]

why would you want the Carthagians to win though that would change history too much, almost like wanting the Roman Empire to survive equally stupid.

 

[HamaticBabylon]

"because I’m plotting your down fall"

 

[Oruc]

"because I’m plotting your down fall"

err yeah thats real funny Bab.

 

[hbdragon88]

HamaticBabylon, emu, and red threat, please - get different avatars? I thought someone had quadruple-posted.

 

[CurtSibling]

Hey guess what? You can also make a lot of money by retrieving the gun which John Wilkes Booth used to shoot President Lincoln!

Such weapons would also be considered valuable for their occult power!

(nothing like a bit of supernatural drama, eh?)

 

[CurtSibling]

"because I’m plotting your down fall"

We are close to seeing your mental downfall, it seems!

 

[general_kill]

i want to witness all of jesus' miracles and his resurrection. video tape it. and from there, i can probably either wipe out judaism or christianity.

 

[Vladyc]

I want to witness the Russian Revolution. I would want to see where it all went wrong.

I don’t understand why people find it hard to believe that the carthagians were the victims of a vicious war machine aka Rome! That’s all the Roman Empire was a “fighting machine”. Curt you are Scottish by breed then you too must hate Rome. For the cults and barbaric Saxons fought the Romans in Hannibal’s missionary infantry armies.

To see the destruction of the city of Rome would have been the greatest site on earth in 224 B.C.

I'm sure the Carthaginians were just sitting there, minding their own business, without a thought of war in their minds, when the big evil Romans attacked.
I see no reason to favor one ancient imperialist empire over another.

 

[CurtSibling]

I don’t understand why people find it hard to believe that the carthagians were the victims of a vicious war machine aka Rome!

More foolishness.

Every culture was required to be a war machine in this era.
Both Rome and Carthage were engaged in a duel of power and there was room for only one winner.

The better kingdom won - Despite Hannibal Barka's great cunning;
Scipio Africanus was the better commander.

Your bitter CIV3 experiences are warping your mind, it seems!

That’s all the Roman Empire was a “fighting machine”. Curt you are Scottish by breed then you too must hate Rome. For the cults and barbaric Saxons fought the Romans in Hannibal’s missionary infantry armies.

Again, you are wrong.

A Scot I may be today, but my blood is more exotic - I am the spawn of Conquistadores!

My elder forefathers were Spanish and Iberians, who gave their oaths to Scipio.

And my other kin in Scotland would fight anyone for gold and the hell of it!

To see the destruction of the city of Rome would have been the greatest site on earth in 224 B.C.

Rubbish - You owe Rome all.

Mainly this language you use and the root of the British culture you live in.
The greatness of our nation was seeded by those who built Londinium.

And mighty Rome, the eternal city has been abused many times...

....She still stands in all her glory.

But where is your Babylon?
Crushed under the steel boots of a new Rome.

And where is your Carthage?
Her ruins lie under the dust and debris of the past.

[romelus]

i'll witness my death, so that i may cheat it
