mine would be Henry the 8th and Anne Boleyn,was she wicked,jealous conniving or as much a victim as Catherine of Aragon and would i be tempted to warn her???

katknapp

If I could travel back in time... it wouldn't be 'who' but 'what'.

I'd like to see the start of the universe, I've always been fascinated by Cosmology.

If it had to be a who... Mr E=mc2 For making my life hell at uni with his theories of general relativity... only joking... genius tbh! I'd like to meet the man behind those incredibly long formulas. (For those who don't know - they were so long he invented another Maths language to help shorten them!).

caterina57

Had a serious thought about this and think I would like to be Ginger Rodgers Dancing with Fred Astaire

I would have liked to have seen the Roman Empire in it's hay-day...

As to who I would have liked to have been or met.....

Think meeting Audrey Hepburn in her early twenties would have been alright :shock:

Not sure who I would have like to be...
Maybe Ol' blue eyes... Might know the truth about Miss Monroe then along with a lot of other secrets... :shock:

I would like to be at the feeding of the 5000 or even the Jairus' daughter/ Lazarus being brought back from the dead. Can you imagine if you actually witnessed any of these miracles you'd be overwhelmed.

That's a really good one Elizabeth

suzygirl

Elizabeth, I agree that would be amazing. To meet Jesus would be so interesting.

I love the Tudor period in history, but they didnt wash so it would be really smelly!!! :shock:

I love looking at National trust houses, and thinking of all the people who have there down the years. Imagine if houses could talk!!

A really good thread, can't decide who or where I would go back in time, o much choice!!!

Amazing.

katknapp

There is so many events and people i would love to meet and see...

can you imagine being able to go back as far as when dinosaurs roamed the earth?

or meet elvis presley...take away those fried peanut butter sandwiches from him lol

katie5

would love to have met Gene Kelly - he's the best dancer of his era, love watching him. Singing in the rain still one of my favourite films.

did meet Richard Harris once and that was fantastic!

i think i would like to meet marilyn monroe too Tony, just to see what she really was like theres been so many books and all with different opinions,

maggiemay

I think I would go back to the era of where Native American Indians roamed their plains, hunting the Buffalo, fishing the creeks, and gathering wild fruits and nuts.

Before the white man brought so called civilisation to them.

Now that would have been a very educational visit

Regards
Mags

coco67

She was a great actress...

traluvie

That is a really gd question???

Quie a tough one..

I like the idea of living with indians and growing up in there culture, where they create there own potions for many things... where they have no tv, radio or any mod cons.. back to basics.. being able to appreciate life and nature..
Thinking about it i could go on and on... am going to think more on this one..

People i'd like to meet;

Malcolm x
Florence nightingale

My brain has now come to a standstill lol..
I'mm sure i will add more soon...

lindalegs

My Mum.

I would like to have met Bess of Hardwick who had Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire built in the 1590s. She was the richest woman in England after Queen Elizabeth, and she was a shrewd business woman, which was very unusual in Tudor times. She had six children, and outlived four husbands, each one richer than the last. In her own right, she was renowned as a moneylender, property dealer, investor in iron works, coal mines and glass works. What a woman :!:

You don't need to travel back in history to meet great people.

katknapp
