Which century should you have been born in?

[Lelophants]

Provided you were rich and healthy, which century and location would you like to have been born in an experienced? VERY lighthearted thread as I’m aware there were in reality many horrors of the past.

I'd really like to have been around when those pyramids were built n see what was actually going on there haha!

I would like to have been a very wealthy Victorian man. Well educated, with a stately home, going on various explorations, attending many cultural events with a wide group of friends and staying at my private members club when in town.

I like this thought experiment! I’d like to be a mid eighteenth century young-ish (30s?) widow of an elderly, wealthy aristocratic man. I’d have my kids including a boy to carry on the title so I wouldn’t be booted out of the ancestral seat in favour of another male relation of my deceased spouse, never re marry, and thereby have about the closest to personal wealth and personal agency (some solo travel on the Continent) that a woman could have at that time. And license to take on a lover on the side, no strings or social censure attached thanks to my widowed status. I love the clothes of the 1750s. And the furniture. <shallow>

I would have loved to have been born around the 1930s.

I love it
