The Battle of Aingcourt or maybe the fall of Constantinople im a history nut so i think those battles would be cool to watch
Completely agree with Woodstock, though I will try and be original...
I would like to see the Summer Palace (the 'old' Summer Palace northwest of Bejing) and all it's treasures in all their glory. That is to say before we British, along with the French, sacked, pillaged and burnt it to the ground in the late 19th century. Damn Lord Elgin!
God we were bastards. Successful bastards, but bastards nonetheless.

Supposing the whole story with Jesus is true (as a Catholic even I'm skeptical), I wouldn't mind witnessing these these miracles first hand.
And if it turns out to be blown all out of proportion, at least it be good for a laugh

I'd go back to WW2 with a camera to videotape the people dying in the war so that way when I get back I can show those pricks that keep making WW2 games the video thus making them go into a psychological state of I'm feeling really guilty now and want to stop.

From what I've read it was a Greek astronomer who first came up with the concept of zero as a notational method, and an Indian expanded the scientific notation into a generally useful concept. The Arabs merely transmitted the concept to us ignorant Westerners. Much of what we've historically credited to the Arabs was in fact transmitted from Chinese and Indian sources, but from its inception the Islamic world had three or four centuries of intense scientific contribution in mathematics, astronomy, and other sciences. And of course nearly everyone agrees that the birth of agriculture and the cradles of civilization are almost all in the Middle East (one or two in India as well, I think), although obviously that far predates Islam. Almost all of the underpinnings of Western civilization come from Eastern (including Indian) sources. (And some of those things occurred, seemingly independently, in the New World.)pnonma said:
As for me, the drafting of the Constitution of the United States. I love to read about battles, but I don't like to see people die. (Even that video of Saddam Hussein being hanged that people try make me watch. I'm glad he's dead, I would have pulled the lever or shot him if needed, but I have no interest in watching him die.)
