I've often thought it would be cool to be able to travel back in time to see something for myself. The stipulation would be that I couldn't interact with anyone or anything and that no one could see me. That way no one would be in danger and events wouldn't be influenced.
What I'd like to see: Dinosaurs Rome during its pinnacle of power Cleopatra, to see if she was as beautiful as historians say Man at different stages of evolution The birth of Christ The Sermon on the Mount (would have to be able to understand Aramaic!)
What would you like to see?

Normal is a relative term. For some reason it is not a term my relatives use to describe me.
Jerusalem, around 30 AD. Dinosaurs (as seen from inside a small but deep cave in the side of a mountain) Philadelphia, around 1776 South America during the Aztecs/Mayans The Garden of Eden (before the Apple)

I would love to go back to North America during the pioneer times ( 18th century).
Hm, I would be invisible while travelling?...Oh, good...then I would like to go back to the Middle Ages in Europe. Interesting times but extremely hard for women, especially those with red hair...
I would love to meet Martin Luther to witness the circumstances which influenced him.
Evolution of man ... step by step...
and a lot more!

Please don't take this the wrong way. I think it would be interesting to see Hitler speak. Before you judge let me explain. I abhor everything he stood for. But, he is an interesting and important character in history. He was supposed to be a supreme orator. Besides, I think it would lend some perspective to see both the good things in history, and the bad.
We heard some of his rhetorics while our history lessons at school. He HAD the gift to fascinate and carry away the masses. This is one of the things that made him so dangerous...

Exactly why I think it'd be fascinating. Being in the presence of pure evil would be a bit disconcerting, though.

Nah, Sarge, I know what you mean. I heard the same things, charisma, etc. I would like to listen to him for a few minutes, then pop him with a hollow-point.
