Now, now. Don't get all paradoxical on us, please, angrybuddhist!

AmonRa said :i think people want to go back to big battles is because, if there was never one single battle in human history, even though we may be living peacfully, we would still all be living in huts farming pigs

Sure, point taken, important battles have shaped our histories and have provided many turning points down through the ages but I still think it would be pretty ghastly to go along and watch one for the fun(!) of it.
Was glad to see that the other similar thread about time travel (mentioned by littlemissattitude) has some great (non battle) ideas for historical destination in it.

You've almost solved it.

Well by the time this message gets ot anyone to read it will probably be a message from 15 minutes in the past . I would like to go back and see the Aztec pyramisds in Peru, were some of the tunnels realy connected to Africa? or possibly Atlantis? and the Mayan ruins in Mexico and the great pyramids in Egipt being built and the tower of Babel was it a space elevator?

Egypt

I can tell you right now, even without a time-machine, such tunnels didn't, don't and won't exist, Atlantis was only Platon's dream and the fictive tower of Babel wasn't a space elevator.

How about reshaping history? Wouldn't that be fun?

Will go into a future to have the opportunity to set foot on our first extra-solar system colony.

What sort of time travel are we talking here? Because we are time travellers already-we travel forward in time...

There's a post missing?
Anyway I had just responded that my above post is just a, "what if" I know, I don't often do that, I usually quote scientific fact or theoery . The tunnels under the Peru ruins that go out a way under the Pacific ocean and abruptly stops is true, these were discoverd sometime back in the 70's the walls were as smooth as glass. And as for Atlantis it was never disproved or proved, some researchers are still to this day looking for clues of this mythical city. Just like the Sumarian cyvilization that was supposedly more advanced then the Egiptions was once thought to be legend until they dug up the ruins of one of their cities and proved the elgend to be true. As for Babel was it just legand? Or was it one of the greates man made wonders of the times, maybe greater then even the pyramids?

My future dream would be to be one of the first astronauts to explore Mars. Especially the Cidonia area.

That's where the "face on Mars" is located, and what some folks think are the ruins of a city with things like pyramids. Now, while I think the jury is still out on the claims, there are those who believe implicitly that what they see on photographs sent back from above Mars is proof that intelligent life once existed there. I would imagine that is why MJ would like to go there.

this went off at a tangent, to another fascinating subject, mars and terraforming. i've split it to make a new mars thread as it will help focus discussions and won't cause confusion to other members when they come on thread
