Slight tweak. I wouldn't want to know I was witnessing history beforehand. Would like to just be as if I was living then in that time and in the crowd when the choice of Barabass or Christ was offered. Then, come back and to now after witnessing the entire thing go down.

I could see my arse getting caught up in the crowd and joining in on the mob scene calling for Christ's head.

What an a-hole I am.

Not sure which event, but knowing what I know now, it would be fascinating to watch some of the Mexican American war and see all these generals working together that would be killing each other in a few years.

Just fricking tragic. It’s always been something that interested me, how that war trained everyone together for our own war. Battle Cry of Freedom glosses over it, a lot of others do not.


Dan Carlin should make that a topic in his next Hardcore History podcast

Pearl Harbor jumps to the front of my mind but I think I'd much rather witness the constitutional convention. So many great debates. So many great compromises pulling people from different ends of the political spectrum together.

I do'nt understand how anyone would want to watch a battle in person. You realize it's not tv, they are actually dying? I'm not watching thousands of men scream as they are killed. Call me a vagina all you want, war isn't something i want to witness. I'm very interested in it's historical aspect, but witnessing it, no thanks.

Would be cool to see Moses And the Parting of the Red Sea as the entire nation of Isreal walks on dry land and then Pharao's army being swallowed up.

I don't know about fired up. from most of what we have available to us, it was a pretty somber moment. they just committed high treason and we're probably a little scared

I’d probably just pick a Led Zeppelin concert. Wouldn’t want to see people slaughtered in battle.

You resurrection watching people would be so disappointed when you waste your one event on something that never happened

Do you really believe it happened like it did in the movie?
