You can pick ONE (1) point in history to visit & record

One of Socrates’ classes or symposia or whatever he called them. I’d like to know what he really said* without the filter of that mystical commie pinko Plato.

Of course, I wouldn’t know in advance how to pick a good one from a ho-hum event, so I would need some kind of advance knowledge, or ability to sample several different events, to find one worth recording.

*If, indeed, his method was the eponymous one, it might take a long recording to get at the meat of his views. I’m ok with that, but if the rules don’t allow it I’d probably opt for something else.

Who cares? Start your own thread.

I’d like to see if the murder of Archimedes was as advertised.

July 6, 1957: I’d like to see Lennon meet McCartney for the first time–and hear Paul play “20 Flight Rock” for John.

Some good ones here and mentioned elsewhere. Im intrigued by the East Area Rapist too. In fact I post occasionally on one of the forums dedicated to the case.

Watching Shakespeare and Burbage in Hamlet would probably be my pick. Shakespeare playing the ghost, and smirking to myself when Burbage is described as fat.

How long is a point?

I want to record what Jesus actually said. As opposed to what those who wrote about him claim that he said.

1586, Roanoke - to see what happened to the settlers.

“Blessed are the cheesemakers.”

I’d like to be at Ford’s Theatre, on that night . Maybe, I’d bump into John Wilkes Booth.

June 14 - July 8, 1947, Roswell New Mexico.

I want to know for sure what was recovered. While I’m for sure it was not something of alien origin, I would just like to get it thru the heads of all the people who’ve gone nuts over this incident.

  1. Our Lady of Fatima.

Follow the 37th Armor through the relief of Bastogne. It’s a chance to watch Creighton Abrams earn one of his DSCs It also puts to rest any debate about how clearly he disobeyed orders in the final breakthrough.

Except that observers who weren’t the children saw nothing.

The day my grandparents were married.

Two of the most admirable people I’ve ever known.

In ancient Roman times, you were found innocent or guilty based on how well you fought a utahraptor in the Thunderdome. It’s all in the Gospels.

The day Thea collided with the infant Earth.

I’d take the assassination of Caesar. It would be interesting to see how closely it matches with the historical accounts.

The cockpit of MH370.
