    LOL-- my kids think that I'm so old I watched the extinction of the dinosaurs come about. I really would have loved to watch the building of the pyramids, esp the largest one, just to see what their technology for engineering actually was like.

    My kids think same thing. Especially when I show them a T-Rex tooth that I picked up off the ground as a souvenier. Pyramids would be awesome to watch, except they think took hundreds of years to build. Long time to sit in the sand, don't you think?

    If I could witness any events, I would witness the classical concerts of Mozart, Beethoven, Litz, Bach, and many others.

    Also, since i'm a classical guitarist, I would appreciate seeing concerts of the old classical guitarists, like Fernando Sor, Mauro Giuliani, Francisco Tarraga, etc.

      The assassination of JFK, It is the biggest most significant event of modern times as tragic as it was, but think of being there and knowing that you could alter history by stopping it. And if you mean witness history without knowledge of its outcome, my answer would be sitting on the moon as the Eagle landed, would be awesome just to sit on the moon checking out Earth!  But yes, the lunar landing and first step by Man on the moon.....Wow!!!

        It would be the sermon on the mount with Jesus. I think that what He had to say was so very important, I would have liked to hear it in person to know that He actually said what he said, and to see him say it, His expression as He said it. That would be so awesome.

        That would be awesome! I wish I had thought of that. Can you imagine the charisma that Jesus had?

          A Shakespeare play at the Globe theatre during Shakespeare's time. What were they really like? How would they compare to how they are presented today? There is suggestion that the 'groundlings' who stood make the experience something as a mosh pit at a wrestling match - is that true? I just wonder about the personna of Shakespeare and the real thing. History has such a way of erroding events over time...

          I have often wondered the same thing. The effect of these wars was so earth shaking and the effects of these wars on events today so complete.
