The 1950s. Doo-Wop. Hamburger stands. Elvis. Buddy Holly. Chuck Berry. Groovy girls with their hairs in buns. Tweed suits. Pinstripes. The Brooklyn Dodgers. Blacks kept in the ghetto and nary a Hispanic in sight

. Massive 20+ foot Lincoln Continentals with suicide doors. Roller skates.

The 1950s has always seemed like an interesting time to live.. however, the one problem is using my advanced knowledge of the world markets/companies, even if I did make millions/billions of dollars like in back to the future lol, the luxuries I would be able to buy would be considered basic items today.. think of a microwave or TV. All this money to buy subpar items I had before in a life that has been fairly modest... One good thing though I could buy a lot more whores with this money and big ass gas guzzlers.

As I said earlier: a rich Roman in the Roman Empire.

A world filled with mystical pagan cults, glittering temples and beautiful priestesses, ritual sacrifice, ritualized prostitution and take part in drug induced hallucination rituals.

Have a nice villa by the beach filled with beautiful Germanic slave women.

You'd have hot running water, glass windows, flushing toilets and even underfloor heating if you were rich.

Go watch a gladiatorial game with your buddies, watch a mock sea battle in the Colosseum or go check out the chariot racing at the circus.

Have an orgy of plentiful slave women any time you want.

Etc.

Ancient Greece or Rome. I could still meet the real Jesus then. I could cover all of my bases.

My grandfathers age, born in the 20's. Got to fight in World War Two, watch this country become the superpower, and made decent money. This generation will just see the decline, brought on by the hippie baby boomer generation.

I might just zoom into the future so that I can live in a space station and gaze at the earth everyday. I have always loved space and anything related to it.

Uranus?

Less than 200 years ago, America was in civil war. That is a scary thought.

1970's. Pre-AIDS, free-flowing cocaine, reds & quaaludes, pointy boobs on chicks, smoking on airplanes, amazing rock concerts (Stones, The Who, and Led Zepplin all at their peaks) and driving this + a mustache would get you laid..

Well did you hear what Donny said about his sword, it took two hands to hold it and it was big. the historians have him at slightly over 7 feet. Coat of arms weigh roughly 35 lb on a six footer, many have been found in that region, actually all over the place that weigh 50-80lb and are enormous in sizes, they look like blankets. Axes weighing 100lb are out there as well, spear heads that weigh 10-12lb, it would take a 500lb man to throw something like this effectively.

Tall big men were often bread and different atmospheric pressures of the past allowed larger statures, this is proven in the fossil record, every animal has a bigger version of itself in the past, including insects, simply an atmosphere more rich with oxygen then the one today.

A guy 7 foot 500 pounds would barely have the strength to move in a battle ignoring the 200 pounds of weapons and armour.

And that`s ignoring the odds that a guy would be born in a country with 2-300 thousand people having one of the most impressive physiques in history.

No doubt the guy was big and strong, but nothing impressive by nfl standards.

I would travel back to the final scene in scarface with mr. nobody to help tony montana fight off sosa's goons. That way we could hang out with tony in south beach and ask the honeys if they wanna have some ice cream with us.

I remember roughly 30 past lives at this point. Not all of them pleasant..actually hardly any. If I were to pick a period of time here on Earth I would say Atlantis. Granted, it was a different civilization and a different race of humans (we are mutts). But Atlantis was at some points one of the highest human civilizations ever in the galaxy over the last 5 billion years.
