      It had to happen, because it did happen.

      Unless we’re playing by Back To The Future rules, in which case … I dunno man, whatever gets him to not hook up with his mom.

    Maybe that’s why so few books survived the fire.

    They were brought to the future and we are in the in between time. * X files music*

    And they’re mostly versions of people shiting on copper vendors (expanded universe).

      Was just about to say this. It’s wild and sad how often it is “women lame. Man smart, strongk” with this format.

        I took most of those as “woman reasonable, men weird”.

          The world is far too normal and it’s a travesty. Everyone should be weirder. Go goth! Start a religion! Invent a new gender! Learn everything there is to know about trains. Normal sucks.

            Goths are pretty normal, they just like a certain music and/or fashion style.

    Go grab those Mayan codices before the Spanish could burn them. Hundred of years of history lost, all because of Christian superstition.

    Someone needs to take out Machiavelli or otherwise prevent him from writing The Prince while we’re in the past. Might not do anything but it could fix a lot if it does

      Nah, The Prince is just basic government theory.

    First stop, Nalanda university. It’s said that when the Mongols burned it, it didn’t stop for a month.

      Imagine the size of its knowledge base, considering most of its learnings were passed down orally as was the custom of the time in the subcontinent?

    The Chronicles of St. Mary’s is an entire series of historians “investigating historical events in contemporary time.” Don’t call it time travel. They don’t like that term.

    I would want to see Shakespeare’s lost plays. Though most likely I’d see every Marx brothers performance.
