What historical moment or event do you wish you could have witnessed?

Signing of the Declaration of Independence for me. Yeah, I'm lame.

Landing on the Moon

 

[Leros]

That sounds pretty boring.

I'd rather watch them argue about what to put in the constitution.

This pretty much trumps everything I was going to say.


Other than that, the establishment of the cities of Jericho, Ur, and Uruk.


Perhaps when Homo Erectus first discovered fire could be spark'd up.

George W. Bush has diaherrea at 3 o'clock in the morning.

 

[Paktu]

Yeah, maybe I'd like to see the births/deaths of various religious figures, but to be honest, this event from 50 years ago has been bothering the crap out of me lately: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyatlov_Pass_incident

Humanity's first faster-than-light flight.

Yeah, I think that would be pretty interesting.

It's weird to think about witnessing these things. A lot of these events are so mythical that they almost don't seem real.

 

[IronWing]

Krakatoa would be neat.

So you're just going to see a regular birth and a regular guy getting nailing on the cross?

I remember reading about that. There's a lot of conspiracy theory around it, and from what I have read on forums about it, unnecessarily so.
