time travel

When I first read this blog topic, I instantly knew where my first destination would be if I could travel to any time period, although the list is quite extensive.  If I could travel anywhere and back to anytime period first the on the list would be back to the Boston Tea party, where I wish to relive the excitement that pulsed through the city, as people dressed as Indians and the harbor turned black from tons and tons of tea leaves soaked in the waters.  To relive such an important event, that forever changed our country and to feel the electricity in the air, as people were filled with fear and anticipation of what was to come.  Next would be when Lincoln declared that slaves were free in the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, as this would have been a tremendous thing to see, as this was the sole even that tore our country into to two and sparked the fire that would lead to the civil war. Next would definitely be the first moon landing, the excitement the country felt, when we took the first steps on the moon, would be something unforgettable and something I would love to see firsthand.  Ancient Greece would be the next place to visit as I would sit and listen to the Greek philosophers, who sculpted the things we learn about today, and forever advancing the scientific and mathematical worlds.  To visit the birth of flight as the Wright brothers created the first flying machine, which eventually lead to the modern day airplanes we know and love today.  Visiting Pompeii in its final moments would be another great place I would like to visit, supposing you could not be injured while on your visits.  Too visit Rome and to witness a gladiator match although very gruesome, I would want to see firsthand how awful one really was and to see how many people gathered to watch two men slaughter each other.  Continuing onward I wish to visit ancient Egypt, as the built the massive pyramids’ that shock and awe people still today.  To see how they really built these huge buildings, and put to rest what really happened there.  To visit the big bang as it happened, if it really did happen, as it would not only put to rest a never ending argument but it would be amazing to watch an entire galaxy explode into existence.  Staying with the same idea, I would like to go back to the time when Jesus was born and to relive the events taught in the bible.  To live when he lived would be an experience that would be unparalleled.  Next would be to go back and witness the march on Washington.  Last but not least would be to go back in time and visit the time when old fashioned gangster’s were common and still ruled the streets of well known cities today, since I have always been really fascinated with old fashion gangster’s and their weapons such as the Tommy Gun.
