If you could experience one historical event firsthand, which would it be and why?
For me it is the “fall of the Berlin wall” and the celebrations after the border openings.

BallsandBayonets, Assuming I have to be a passive observer, the moment when humans learned to create fire.
spittingimage, I’d be kind of interested to see the gathering where the Dutch killed and ate their prime minister.
mynamesnotrick, Hard question. Something that had to be amazing was Times Square on V-J day. Had to been a hell of a party and a feeling knowing that mess was over.
Scrof, My favourite one is yet to come. Come on Putin die already.
Corno, Assuming I was in some kind of protective bubble, the big bang, to see how it actually looked like.
captain_aggravated, Hmm. I want to say something mysterious, like what happened to some sailing ship that disappeared, or something like that to know what happened.
Or there’s some guy that buried a treasure in Missouri and left the location in a cryptogram that hasn’t been solved to this day.
But I think it would be most fun to witness Apollo 11’s first space walk. Niel be talking about “one small step for man” and I just walk up applauding. And then ask for a lift home.
trolololol, “Sorry Neil, there’s only room for him. Stand by and we’re sending you home on the next one”
Ksp players: yeah sure
hogmomma, It’d have to be the construction of The Sphinx or the Giza pyramids for me.
Mediocre_Bard, The moment that life on earth began.
retrieval4558, Hope you bring your microscope
Sam_Bass, Drpends. If i was allowed to live past it, the extinction of the dinosaurs
Flax_vert, (edited ) Crucifixion of Jesus. Also the resurrection if staying there for a few days is allowed.
Ejh3k, 1893’s World’s Columbian Exposition.
TacoNot, Mine would be witnessing the first nuclear explosion at the trinity test site.
randomuser38529, Like…up close??
TacoNot, As close as possible
CosmicCleric, (Putting aside if the Bible’s stories are real or not for a moment…)
Moses talking to God (aka ‘The Burning Bush’).
I’m not religious, but I’d love to witness God actually speaking to somebody.
spez_, Bring back the USSR
outrageousmatter, Julius Caesar declaring himself an emperor, the celebration and seeing the man that essentially turned rome from a powerful republic to the most powerful empire with a military that dominated majority of europe.
