If you could live your life in any time period in human history pre-1900 which time period would you choose?

I'd like to go back to around 1000 A.D. Scandinavia when vikings were becoming Christians, not sure why. It just seems like an interesting time
>>
>1793-94 in France
>be Representant en mission from the National Convention
>BTFO royalist traitors in Lyons and the Véndee
>round up all of the local priests and nobles in a field outside of town
>open fire with cannons
>desecrate churches and religious cemeteries
>get drunk on communion wine

>tfw it will never happen
>>
I agree it's interesting. I would go back to when Christianity was illegal in the Roman Empire and asked some Romans why they had converted
>>
Mid-Republic Rome so i can witness Poenic wars in all their glory

Assuming I could understand the languages, customs and survive:

>during the life of Christ
>300 B.C Greece
>1800 Flanders

Rome under Augustus, would be so cool to see the Empire at its peak and see hard proof of things we only think we know. Catch a gladiator match in the Colosseum, watch some chariot racing, fuck my brains out in an orgy while blitzed on a nice Falernian. Join a legion, discover new civilizations and destroy them.

Late 1400's. Just cause I think its the most interesting period. Plate armor, knights, epic sieges. Chivalry and brutality, jousting, highway men and sleazy taverns.

The 1800's. Experience the Napoleonic wars, the Civil War, the rise of industrialism and the age of steam. Discover the West, go on a gold hunt and fight injuns at the frontier. Experience decadence in Paris and the dreariness of Londons East End. Colonise new worlds, kill some Zulus and see what its like to be a part of the Western gold age.

>you will never experience any of these things

Fuck me. To be honest I think I would rather have been a part of any other era than this one. Atleast we have the dankest memes.

This or making Georgia howl.

I would go back to Rome under Hadrians ruling. Nothing seems more appealing then exploring the entire empire, constructing elegant budings and cleansing filthy jews from the world.
>>
I pick 500bc Egypt, sounds like fun
>>
I'd go to Napoleonic Britain and sign on with a merchant ship.
I get to learn the ways of a ship, and a few things can happen here
-everything works out fine
-I get pressed by a Royal Navy ship and get to live out Master and Commander
-we get taken as a prize by a French ship and I, as an American (depending on the stage of the war, either a neutral or semi-allied party, also je parle un peu de français) , sign on with them
-we get taken as a prize by an American ship and I sign on with them
-I die in some way or another, but die living life to the fullest

I'd take a big thing of multivitamins so I don't fall prey to some bullshit deficiency.

My greatest fantasy is to go back in time and beat the shit out of the Count of Artois/Charles X

>go back to ~1850
>get cash
>start nice farm somwhere in Africa where there is little malaria
>import qt wife
>be nice to locals so when the decide to kill da white man your family will be spared
>in spare time catalogue flora and fauna of the region
>what_a_time_to_be_alive.jpg
Or at least that's what the eternal Anglo wants me to belive

They wont care.

Maybe get your filthy invading ass out of their country then, whitey.

>>682812
As a Scandinavian all I can say is right back at you.
>>
>>682858

>implying immigrants who were invited are the same as colonists who invaded

Good bait.
>>
Pre-Columbian America would have been neat, it would have been interesting to be able to see the mythology and stories we've lost from the Aztec, Mayan and Incan civilization.
Turn of the 19th century USA as well, becoming a Mountain Man, living in the vast untamed wilderness, enjoying the limitless freedom that that lifestyle allows.

I just want to live in Anglo-Saxon England and have cold northern feels about my lost gold-friends, wandering throughout the land as my wyrd is held fast.
>>
>>682874
You're right, colonists own the land they invade by the right of conquest, while immigrants rely completely on the mercy of the natives who could easily round them up and deport them or put them in gas chambers at any time.
>>
>>682874
>invited

Not by the people but by the politicians. Denocracy has failed.
>>
>>682808
Been to sub-saharan Africa a few times now and talked with the colonials that are left. All of them basically said "yeah my father/grandpa just played along when they achieved independence, so we got to keep our shit".

Newsflash: Africans are humans too, resoect is respect.

Rome was arguably at its peak during the time of Trajan and Hadrian.

Good choice though.

Back to the very early saxon migration period. I might end up living in a fucking pit house, but I'll found the shit out of a kingdom, invent crop rotation ahead of time, and sew the seeds of a Unified Britain, just to fuck with Charlemagne even more than Emperor Coenwulf.

Oh, and stab the fuck out of Ida. Fuck the sons of Ida. Hard.

Please remember that we now have better nutrition, better food in basically every way, longer lifespans, more comfortable lives, foam mattresses, the fucking internet, pornography, comfortable chairs, good clothes, polyfibers, rational and sensible thought (By comparison), and a significantly reduced chance of getting fucking shanked.

I'd go back to the 19th century and find max Stirner and bang his disgusting whore of a wife, then write a book full of cuck memes and create a phiosophy based on cuckoldry as an alternative to spooks

Hellensitic Era somewhere in Syria or India and experince the glorious cultural synthesis as well as walking around to visit a multitude of different cities
