I was going to say your choice isn’t weird and it’s generic, but then you ended with this and it made me realize this would probably be a good trip for you.
Matthew and John were 2 of the 12 disciples who lived with Jesus.
could you be more specific please? Like I want to go back and see the first time one of the tracks to lug those stones up to the pyramid broke and a cart holding a giant stone is running down a ramp at high speed.
Lots of good things in this thread that I would also like to go back to.
In addition, I would like to go back when a lot of food "inventions" were made. Like, who and how did someone discover putting seeds in the ground? How about making bread? What about the Egyptians making beer? I want to see the mistake of someone putting meat against fire. I think those things would be cool to see.
In addition, I would like to see the British monarchs in real time from the middle ages. Just interesting to see the back room dealings, why certain decisions were made, why certain people got pissed off and went to war, why certain betrayed their family/friend.

When Alexander Fleming saw a moldy-ass piece of bread, noticed it was slowing the growth of staph, and decided to have someone eat it. "For science."
I'd be interested in anything that we don't really know about, or knowledge was lost. The building of the pyramids example earlier was a good idea.
1. We don't actually know how ancient people's fought battles. I probably couldn't stomach watching one, but there are a lot of battles that had significant tactical differences (Greek Hoplites vs. Persians for example) we just don't know how it worked.
2. How did they make Damascus Steel?
Stuff like that.

Thats what I’m talking about dogg. People taking this too seriously haha.
Regarding 2), that was way before '96...
I figured that was the case but when I think about it I want to oddly specifically go back to that period right before the media and LE really latched on to it. Think that’s about the time?

Right, but they all were written several years after the fact, and there's significant debate, even among religious scholars, on if they were actually written by the disciples themselves or people they gave accounts to.
Dealy Plaza. Grassy knoll. November 22, 1963. Holding a big sign that says "Duck!"
Kennedy assassination. Just how many shooters exactly were there and what did the grassy knoll have to do with it?
Kind of odd, but whenever I see something from 1940's-50's era I get strangely nostalgic, wishing you could go back to a point where things were more communal and family oriented. Dinner around the table, reading the paper with your coffee type stuff.
