I'd like to know what Stonehenge/Newgrange people really believed and lived like, what way did society work. So I'd need a quite a few dates I suppose rather than a specific day in time.

I was going to Stonehenge too. Just to know, once and for all how and why it was built and what it was used for.

Paris 1890-1914/1920s - seems like such an exciting time artistically

I'm beginning to feel I'm weird. I'd love to see the explosion of both Thira ( Santorini) and Krakatoa. Again with the provisional Id be safe rather than fried.

Big Bang would have been good. Where everything we know was crowded into a space smaller than an atom. Not sure where I would sit though.

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g I wonder if we've passed by each other at Euston? 😂 I’m fascinated by it too - the old Euston, I mean. A few years ago I went down a serious rabbit-hole with old photos and suchlike, and my mind was blown when I realised where the arch actually was - not fronting the Euston Road, but pretty much right down where the platforms are now.

Yes, they have the columns, apparently. They’ve salvaged a lot of them from the river where they were dumped.

I wish I could have been at the court of / a favourite of Elizabeth I.

(When I was little, I wrote to Jim’ll Fix It to ask to go back in time
to meet her)

The beginning of humans travelling. To see human evolution would be mind blowing.
