Hmm . . . This is a tough one!

There are so many events that I would have liked to witness and each one is as important as the next.

BUT, above all! I would liked to have been a witness to many Native American events, that change our way of life.

We travelled back and visited Galileo last week.
It was great fun hiding behind his fence and throwing figs at him til he thought they were coming from the sky. Gave him some funny ideas.lol
next week we're gonna go throw fruit at Isaac Newton in his garden.
thinking maybe of substituting apples for figs though.
You can get a real thud from an apple

4. Sir Isaac Newton
5. JFK
Thanato
1- First flight of the Arrow

I'd like to see the first buckaroo that tried to ride a horse.
And, then got up, and tried again.

I like to be there when J. Robert Oppenheimer said, "I am become Vishnu,
destroyer of worlds!" He was strange looking...

I would like to witness the first design, building, and test flight of a successful
field-propulsion device using sub-atomic x.

I would like to see if our sun was ejected from the Orion Nebula.

If there was ever a moment when God, Jesus had some spare time,
I would like to bend an ear and cleanse my soul. That's not asking much.










little_bunny
I would go back in time and see

The JFK assassination
The Roswell Crash
The Great Pyramids of Giza getting built
Betty and Barney Hills abduction
Travis Waltons abduction
Stixxman

No, I was living in the midwest when that happened. I've been here for 18 years and it was by all accounts a terrrifying experience. It's been said that the areas surrounding Middletown have one of the highest cancer rates either in the state or in the whole country, I'm not sure. I've been fishing downstream from the island and I kid you not, there are some mighty strange looking fish in the Susquehanna River. I've heard we were something like less than an hour away from a nuclear catastrophe. But there are so many rumors surrounding what really happened, I'd just love to go back and be the proverbial fly on the wall.

For an excellent description if the Three Mile Island incident, go here:

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collecti...3mile-isle.html

Key points:

Health Effects
Detailed studies of the radiological consequences of the accident have been conducted by the NRC, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (now Health and Human Services), the Department of Energy, and the State of Pennsylvania. Several independent studies have also been conducted. Estimates are that the average dose to about 2 million people in the area was only about 1 millirem. To put this into context, exposure from a full set of chest x-rays is about 6 millirem. Compared to the natural radioactive background dose of about 100-125 millirem per year for the area, the collective dose to the community from the accident was very small. The maximum dose to a person at the site boundary would have been less than 100 millirem.

In the months following the accident, although questions were raised about possible adverse effects from radiation on human, animal, and plant life in the TMI area, none could be directly correlated to the accident. Thousands of environmental samples of air, water, milk, vegetation, soil, and foodstuffs were collected by various groups monitoring the area. Very low levels of radionuclides could be attributed to releases from the accident. However, comprehensive investigations and assessments by several well-respected organizations have concluded that in spite of serious damage to the reactor, most of the radiation was contained and that the actual release had negligible effects on the physical health of individuals or the environment.

The main thing scary about it was the media (We'e all going to die) coverage. The containment system worked as designed. There was a meltdown of the core, but it didn't quite make the "China Syndrome". geek.gif

I know it might be interesting to go back in time and witness these events, but I wouldnt actually go back and visit any of these events at all because:

1) Some things are better left a mystery. Believe me!
2) There would be no more Unexplained Mysteries Forum crying.gif
GIDEON MAGE
1. Moses talking to the burning bush.
2. The burning of the Library at Alexandria.
3. The murder of Hypatia.

7. Buddha reaching enlightenment.

For manmade disasters, I would love to have seen Gorbechov's face when he heard about Chrenobyl
I would have loved to have seen the battle of Agincourt, one of the most lopsided battles in history
I would have also liked to have seen the filming of the movie 'Nosferatu' to see if all the rumors are true.
And I know this is not an event in history, but I would like to just sit down and talk with Hitler. Yes he was an evil man, but I am always curious to see if he actually believed in what he was doing or if it was a means to an end
Lastly, I would like to go back and try and find Camelot, to see if the legend is true or not

There were rumors surrounding the old vampire movie Nosferatu. Mainly stemming from the fact that there were lighting and camera effects no one else could duplicate (even the same studio) for ten to fifteen years later. Also the main actor (the guy who played the vampire) himself was a creepy individual and only ever appeared in that one movie. There are also some rumors that the guy was just creepy in general and that some pretty strange things occurred on the set when he was around. I do not know the full story of the rumors, but it was enough to get my attention and I am trying to do some research on the matter.

This would be cool if it were in another form like myths, I have heard about this before but can not remember the actors name, Maybe someone in the myth form would know! hmm.gif

All of these things would be great to see. But what about not-so-famous events? I would like to see my birth and my parents wedding; then of course back to famous events - 1st moon landing, the supercontinent Pangea, and Washington crossing the Potomac.
TheEssenceofExcellence
Here's where I'd go:

1. 67 Million years ago so I could see the T-Rex in its' hay-day before the mass extinction.

2. The Trojan War, so I could see Achilles kick serious ass on EVERYBODY!!!

3. Back to when Jesus was on earth

4. 1947 in Roswell NM at the spot at the exact time whatever crashed....crashed.

5. Back to Super Bowl 3 (I think that's right) so I could see my New York Jets win the big one!!!!!


with an extra Time Travel opportunity: I wouldn't mind going back to my first day of high school and staying there in that time so I could relive that part of my life so I could do it better and make it more memorable. I mean, who hasn't wanted to go back and ask that one particular girl out, the one you didn't have enough guts to talk to when you were a freshman?

No, he was in the 6th Armored Division that served under Gen. Patton's 3rd Army. They landed at Normandy on July 18th, 1944. Some of their highlights include fighting in the Battle of the Bulge, crossing the Rhine River into Germany, and liberating Buchenwald concentration camp.

4) The Scopes Monkey trial.
5) The unification of China under its' first Emperor.

This Nosferatu Myth.
I'm intrigued . hehehe
apart from the casting of Max Schreck who was played by a famous german Matinee Idol who didn't want his identity known as it would Impinge on his normal career. Thats why he appears so grotesque because he is very heavily made up.
Horror films were a new genre when Nosferatu was made.
That is it though. There are no other Myths extant on the Nosferatu myth unless its over wether or not an actual copy of the entire original 94 minute film survived.

In 2000 a movie was released called "Shadow of the Vampire".
