Perhaps you'd like to see how the pyramids were built, really want to watch the Wright brothers fly for the first time, or just wish you'd been there for Queen's Live Aid set in 1985!

    Ancient Rome, the year of the four emperors...always loved Roman History.
    Pompeii...but from a safe distance...I'm more morbid then I thought I was...
    Loved visiting the site, years ago.

    I'm jealous @Cress, I'd love to go to Pompeii! I agree, it'd have to be from a safe distance though :D

    My birth, I need to be sure my parents were really my parents and not aliens.

    (saw Queen live in Hyde park in the late seventies?)

    Oh, okay, perhaps my first birthday then, after that I remember them kind of.
    I'm just naturally suspicious ?

    The creation of the Universe, could finally clear up the debate...  Not quite sure where I'd sit to watch that though!  B)

    It's understandable @leeCal. I'm jealous that you got to see Queen live, that must have been amazing!

    It'd still be quite a task to persuade people that you were right though @OverlyAnxious :D "No, I swear it's true, I was there!!"

    September 1st 2001, the England football team played rather well, worth seeing again.

    I was too young to remember, but the atmosphere must have been electric @leeCal! Going back to '66 would also be pretty great

    1300bc - King Tut's Funeral.  Still so many unanswered questions about it.

    I would have loved to look down on the battle of Trafalgar. Or the battle of Waterloo.

    It might sound odd to say, but I'm interested in earthquakes.....so I would like to go back in time & see Krakatoa erupt in 1883, but from a safe distance! I saw an amazing TV dramatisation or film of this several years ago.
