You can go back and live for a few years in any age or time frame of human history. Diseases and warfare and all that aside, what do you pick? Choose 3, and explain why you like them and would've liked to experience them.
For me, the first answer is a close call. My three choices are the Viking Age c. 1030, when Knut the Great was King of England, Denmark, and Norway, or the Napoleonic Era, or the 1870s, specifically in Germany. These are my three favourite time periods (I don't count the World Wars here because I certainly wouldn't have wanted to experience them - props to my grandpa, great grandpa, and all those uncles who served in them), and I think for me it would go:
>Victorian
>Napoleonic
>Viking
Victorian would be fascinating as such a unique time of great technological and political advancement. Such sheer amounts of great change have never been paralleled as those in the late Industrial Revolution times.
Napoleonic would be also super fascinating for me, especially since I work at a Napoleonic heritage site, and since I've done some reenacting as a British grenadier.
Viking would be partly an ancestral call for me, but not just because they're stereotyped badasses. There's still today even a great deal we don't know about them, and these are things I wish I could know.

Roman empire (my ancestors were from central Italy)
sometime before the seven years' war
wouldn't really want to go to any other points in history, so for my third one I'll just say the year 2100

Interesting choice, semi bizarre reasoning.
Not sure why you'd want a society with no morals.

I would want to see ottoman istanbul in 1550 and in 1900 also ancient egypt during its peak sounds very interesting and exotic.
>>
Ancient Mesopotamia, to see what the first civilization was like
Roman Empire when Jesus was executed, to witness the splendour and see what actually happened
The Mongol conquests, hitch a ride with a khan and see/destroy everything from China to Hungary
Hard question to answer, there's so much cool shit to witness

I would probably want to check out Rome under Cesar, but that's it. And certainly not for years.
