not sure if you mean if you could go back to em or if you mean know...but ive been to france, and mexico(cancun which i thought was basically america in mexico with a lowered drinking age, still beautiful and if you go an hour or two away from cancun you get a feel for what mexico is really like), id like to visit scotland tho, have a lot of family history there, my ancestor fought with william wallace and theres a castle that shares our last name, so that be cool to see, id also like to visit spain, basically id like to see everything but as for historical significance id like to see rome, greece, italy, egypt kinda places were it all happened...not the beginning of life, but the beginning of well organized civilizations

 

yea like temples in southern india ...thatd be cool to see ...

 

Starting off here in America, I want to see those old stone forts in Georgia and Tennessee (I think those are the states) that predate Colombus. Some say they were made by a lost group of Welsh settlers, as one of them has the exact same design as a castle in Wales, and I hear they unearthed some bronze armor. I guess the Grand Canyon and Mt Rushmore are historical, right? Pretty cool anyways, I'd want to hike around in those areas. I'd like to see the scene of the Battle of Little Bighorn and some other sites for Indian battles, and also the ancient Anasazi ruins, and the Cahokia ruins in Missouri/Illinois (I'm pretty into Native American history, in a way). I also think Macchu Pichu in Peru would be awesome, a sacred city in the clouds has got to be sweet.

Now, ideally (though I'll likely never get to do it) I'd like to see Jerusalem/the Holy Land, and some of the ancient Greek ruins, as well as the areas where the Buddha came from in Nepal/northern India. Also, seeing Olduavi Gorge and other East and Southern African fossil sites would be cool, to see where we all came from.

I want to go to the Great Wall of China, the Grand Canyon, Moscow and St. Petersburg (compare and contrast), the pyramids in Egypt and also the ones in South America. I'd also want to go to Woodstock (I know the festival wasn't really held there, but still). I'd also like to go back to the dying moments of several people to ask them to tell them I admire/respect/love them (delete as applicable). Wow, far too morbid for this early in the morning...

 

Hadrians wall would be cool too. Gotland as well

 

The Siberian expressway
Everest base camp in Tibet.
China
Mongolia
Okinawa

 

Lenins tomb

 

The castles of the German Order of St. John (Johanniter). There's one about 30 miles away from where I live, but it won't open until the end of March. Other castles are in the Czech Republic and Poland.

 

visiting places of historical interest may not teach you all that much of REAL history unless you visit them in that timefraime in which they were. certainly there is only so much the christianized, hellinized crete of today can even hint at as to the crete of minose, probable origen of plato's atlantian myths. historical markers are often quotations from the same distorted or even invented 'histories' you were decetefully brainwashed with in school. an exception might be someplace where culturaly there are traditions of passing down the at the time perceptions of historical incidents or culture defining mythologies such as ireland, scotland, wales.

if you visit someplace staying at a big name modern franchise hotel you'll more likely get the perceptions of the homeland of the parent company of the hotel chain then those of the actual local way of life.

now i would like to visit certain places at their own points in time. or perhaps a bit safer, some how see and record them through the eyes innocuous and unnoticed creatures that would normaly have been there at the time. this may sound like fantasy, and is often the stuff of fantasies, but it is not unimaginable as some potential future tecnology.

i would also like, if i had that much resources and rounduits, to participate in a scientific cultural archiological dig.

i was on a couple of local 'mini-digs' as a student and i loved it.

Normandy, Auschwitz, Berlin, Munich, London, Paris

 

some of the exact spots where i've lived in this life, about a thousand years before i was born there. before the european invasion of north america in mid milinium.

i'd really like to see, and maybe even live, first hand, how the indiginous maidu who have been here for ten thousand years at least, were actually living and doing things.

sure no trains or computers, but no cars or overpopulation either. maybe i wouldn't want to stay there, but i'd at least like to visit.

nepal at the time of its first unification might be interesting too. and at the time of sidartha gutama. to have actually been at one of his public appearances. and lao tsu's china. i might have liked to have seen the ohioan civilization at its peak as well.

sri-lanka at the time of the serindip brother's, although it's climate is too tropical for my taste, likewise, as already mentioned, minoen crete.
