If you could witness any point in history...

[HamaticBabylon]

I would tell Hannibal about the future of the Roman Empire, their military plans, and help the Carthagians destroy the Romans.

 

[colontos]

Leo Tolstoy's funeral

 

[A'AbarachAmadan]

-The construction of the Pyramids (and other ancient wonders)
-Ghengis Kong's conquest across the world.
-Watching the lives various great philosophers (including Christ).
-The Battle of Thermoplae

 

[Reno]

1) Iron Age Finland and prevent the Swedes & Novgorodians from converting and taking over Finland.

2) The Great Libary and Lighthouse in Alexandria.

3) Von Lettow Vorbeck's battles against the Brits in German East-Africa during World War I

4) The Battle of Waterloo

5) The Modernization of Japan and the deposing of the Shogunate

 

[Bozo Erectus]

I don't know, but it would likely be religously based.

Maybe it would be the Last Supper.

Im not sure why, but I have a funny feeling somebody else already did it.

 

[TrailblazingScot]

The seige of Troy, I want to see those suckers buy into the idea that the Wooden Horse was a gift and needed bringing back into their city.

 

[IglooDame]

I want to witness the destruction of the Russian fleet by the Japanese at Port Arthur in 1905. Not that my nationalism is getting in the way, but I just want to see a one-sided naval battle before World War I.

Not Tsushima?

Anyway, I'd visit a few key points in the lives of Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed, just to see if the writings are correct.

I'd videotape Lady Godiva's ride.

And I'd ask what Jefferson and Madison really meant when they wrote the Second Amendment and get their take on a few current constitutional questions.

 

[nonconformist]

Fall of berlin Wall.

 

[E-Raser]

Fall of berlin Wall.

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

 

[Xen]

The seige of Troy, I want to see those suckers buy into the idea that the Wooden Horse was a gift and needed bringing back into their city.

considerign the Trojans were more the good guys (or, at least Hector represented the bes tof men, and that even what is best in men can fall victim to the violent lust of war) such woudl be a rather... depressing scene, I would imagine...

as for a point in history I woudl like to see; hard to say

 

[Xen]

I would tell Hannibal about the future of the Roman Empire, their military plans, and help the Carthagians destroy the Romans.

A)reminder, Hannibal wasnt black

B)you havnt a god damn clue what the Romans plans were, and even if you did, Hannibal was an obstinate bastard and likelly wouldnt even see you, let alone pay attention to you

 

[CurtSibling]

Seeing the WW2 Eastern Front battle of Kursk from a good distance.

The largest armoured forces in the history of humanity, and the most hardcore defences the world had ever seen!

A hideous waste of men and machines, but it the whole vista would have indeed have a terrible majesty!

I would perhaps also visit the Wolfsschanze and leave a pinch of cyanide in the mineral water of a certain
Austrian tyrant...Thus maybe ending WW2 in late 1943 and saving planet Earth from the cold war.

 

[CurtSibling]

Mighty Barka would have you clapped in irons and dragged behind his horses.

He had no time for slippery spies and dishonest types!

 

[Sir Og]

I'd like to see the routing of the Arabs by Tervel in 718AD near Constantinople.
I want to see the charge of thousands of horsemen.

 

[E-Raser]

Better than just being witness would be taking part, like going back to 500 BC and inventing the first machine gun, raise an army and force down the whole known world down on their knees.
And after lunch discovering America.
Inventing the microskope.
Stuff like this-
and being worshipped for it

 

[CurtSibling]

You would have to invent the gun before the machine gun.

And you would have to foster the industrial age to develop it.

Only then would you get any kudos!

 

[~Corsair#01~]

I would tell Hannibal about the future of the Roman Empire, their military plans, and help the Carthagians destroy the Romans.

There was bugger all he could do. Leaving Italy to go to Spain would be the same as admitting defeat (also, would his troops want to go over the Alps again?). Staying in Italy was hopeless. Going over to Africa... well you know how well that went.

The Carthaginian government was too incompetent and corrupt- Hannibal's much-needed reinforcements were routinely diverted to Spain, or to pointless campaigns in Sardinia and Sicily.

In summary: the New City is gonna go down, whether you like it or not.

Nope, why shouldn't one be able to build machineguns in manufations?
A gatling is not that big deal to built, but a big deal to face a phalanx...
Some rockets may also help- explosives on top. Landmines.
There's no limit in having fun

 

[CurtSibling]

I could argue with that...But I won't - Because why should we limit fun?

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