What age would you choose to live? [Archive]

I doubt anyone here could REALLY prefer any past age over the present day. We're all a bit too used to our internet, cellphones, and other 21st century luxuries, not to mention EB! That said, there are certainly many historical epochs I'd like to VISIT. Imperial Rome is an obvious first choice since I spend most of my time studying their history and archaeology, but 3rd century BCE Alexandria would also be interesting.

I cannot answer your question for I am not of this world. I am from the planet Gametron (seen plenty of you there as well) and for us there has only ever been 1 age - the age of gaming. It's a wonderful world.

However I have heard of this 'woman' you speak of and it reminds me of a story.

Once upon a time there was a man, and the man asked a woman to marry him. The woman said "NO" and the man lived happily ever after. THE END

What I think would be really cool is the sort of simulation where you are placed "inside" of someone living at the certain time and location. However you can just see from the viewpoint of the person you are "in", but can't make any decisions, just follow your "host". This way you could see, feel and hear the thoughts and emotions of the frontline roman soldier charging the battleline of celts, the daily life of athenian citizen, the lousy life of a cretan mercenary or daily struggles of a farmer somewhere in Baktria. This is just a few examples from EB period. The only limit then would be your time and imagination as possibilities are endless.

Bah. I don't even have most of the advanced 21st century toys like cellphones or ipods or laptops. I have a t.v., but there's never anything to watch, so I wouldn't miss it.
In fact, I have often dreamed of moving to the steppes and living among nomadic herdsmen, if there are any left. They've probably all settled down and become district attorneys or something by now.
Of course, I think I'd much rather live in the Cambrian period. There wouldn't be anybody or anything running around on land, and there'd be funny little creatures in the sea, most of which were probably edible. It might be a tad unpleasant without plants.
I would miss EB though.

(and I'm 20 years of age and I've seen the Who live, so restore your faith in the modern youth)

Plutoboyz, as for the 14th century. Can you spell P-L-A-G-U-E ?

As for me, if I could be a Macedonian general, the period c. 325-260 BC would just be fantastic: I mean, everybody-versus-everybody. For example I love the fates of fx Pyrrhus or Demetrios Poliocertes (no idea bout the spelling), who lost and won kingdoms SEVERAL times. Actually the Cambridge Ancient History itself remarks; "everything was possible in the fantastic world of Hellenistic politics". I know it must have been a cruel time, but I just love a big mess. The Period of Migrations in Europe, with the Goths and Huns and Vandals would be another one of those periods. Where everything's confusion and there are no set rules and adventure everywhere.
But obviously those periods would only be cool if you were a commander + a very talented commander (being a lousy commander is prolly more fun in peace time). So if I can't choose what to be, I'd rather try the 1960's and 70's. Sounds like they were fun :)

Lack of nobility...? Are you sure, man? Maybe not nobility in the European sense, but hereditary positions in many Amerindian societies in present-day Canada were common during the early colonial period and likely the pre-colonial period, as well. My own ancestors were hereditary chiefs since the earliest periods of recorded history in the Great Plains, and certainly long before the European colonization of my homeland.

Completly true. I was speaking solely in term of nobility understood in European fashion. in our people's fashion, we shopuld speak more of a hereditory social position than of a title of nobility, in my opinion. of corse I speak knowing my knowledge about past or our people isn't as deep as yours :S

Yeah, you right, you right. Exceptions probably made for the chiefdoms, hereditary positions were more of a strict responsibility than a right or privilege. In the northern bands of the Great Plains, if you weren't doing what your people wanted you to do, then they would just leave your band and migrate to the band of another chief, if not simply strip you of your responsibility outright. Besides, power was also shared with the council, the elders, and the warchiefs, so once again, being a hereditary chief was more about representing the will of your people rather than being something of an absolute monarch (in the case of my own ancestors, anyways).

Of course, the role of chief wasn't always hereditary in present-day Canada, nor was it the only hereditary position in many cases. After all, Canada is a huuuuuuge place, spanning across 1/3 to 1/2 of a huuuuuuge continent, and the countless cultures vary... alot. This should probably be taken into account, since we live half-way across the continent from each other, my Algonquin brother. :laugh4:

It should certainly be taken into consideration! as the distinction is to be made between cultural groups (algonquin, Cree, Mohawks, etc...) but also, each band had their own habits and traditions ;) As for algonquin, the ''political'' power was mostly in the hands of the women as it was a matriarcal society, the role of cheif, though having power within the band, was more concentrated on war and commerces, alliances, well, inter-band questions. but at home, hehe, mama ruled (along with the elders). Wich was very surprising for Champlain when he made alliance with the algonquin against the Iroquois and the red-coats, as his emissaries told him that, though men were speaking, decision were, for a big part, made by women! (what a change, for a european who's used to the egemony of man!) this is about all i know about the politics of my ancestors!

I've a question, I told you my people, i don't recall (or maybe don't remember) where you come from, i know the name of your ancestor, but not even what group he was from!

This would be another. The Isles with, primarily, a Celtic-Saxon blend I think would be a great 'what if' scenario. Someone should write a book about that. Harold put up a great fight against both Viking and then Norman, and fought with his men like a true king in the Saxon shieldwall.

Hehe, of course after Normandy in my version Wales would be next. Then Scotland.:skull: But the traditional (Germanic-style) Anglo-Saxon Common Law was really a whole lot nicer than (roman influenced) Frankish Feudalism, especially for the average dude. The only downside to the Anglo-Saxons was that they were constantly being attacked.

Ehhh... most band societies develop into tribal societies with hereditary positions developing especially as it moves towards chiefdoms then kingdoms. How do you think the European, etc nobility developed. It it quite evident in Danish history how chieftains and warlords grew into nobility ruled by a king merely marginally more powerful.

I would chose to live now, would like to take my experience and self-confidence and reel time back 25 years while keeping that (keep your daughters safe), and being a heroic Viking Warlord seems nice as a dream. However, the diseases, squalor, etc would probably not be so fun...

Then couples of shotgun could help a lot.... just said "I have the Thunder's power... everybody... bow to me or face my wrath!!!"

Haha, you think my ancestors are mindless savages? :laugh4:

I'm quite sure they never see a shotgun before...

Not only mindless savages will fear shotgun, but I'm sure that even the brightest Hellenes, Medieval Knights, Persian Scholars, or even anyone before guns was invented, will be shocked...

Lykos, in ALL history, in ALL times, there is only ONE TRUE BARBAROI.

Remember that.

Sorry Meth, Wolf didn't mean it at all =]

I only want to give him some advice how to use Psychological warfare, and mount a coup d'etat to his ancestor's rule.... (NOTE: I will do the same thing when I arrive in the very beginning in Nurhaci's reign... but using machine guns and mow those horse archers down to show them... who's the boss)

I want to see Mankind subjucate primitive alien worlds as we achieve our manifest destiny in the universe.

No need of cannon, wolf! only mistake Native did back in 1492, is that they were friendly with the handful of europeans that came in Antilla, and letted colombus go back to tell what he saw... Then, another mistake made by natives, in 1534, where my people lived (border of Saint Lawrence river, near the present site of montreal) is that they welcomed friendly Jacques Cartier, even leted him make an outpost for his colonist! yes... LETTED him do so, because don't forget, that, back then Native weren't dealing with english and french armies, but only with crew member of a pittyful expedition. Then, with Samuel de Champlain, Algonquin people allied with the french to help fight the Iroquois and English... but anyway... fact is that what destroyed the First Nations, before sickness, was friendship, was generosity. then, sickness and european greed effectivly cleared the path for european dominance in americas... now, just for the fun of it... imagine that, back in 1492, Colombus and his remaining 30 or so crew, would have been killed, and never got back to spain to tell the crown (who already didn't believed he'd make it back) what he saw... History MAY have been VERY different...

I must wonder why the EB Team is letting this thread run.

I wonder how it would be to live as a Hellenized Thracian in the Bosporan kingdom? I know very little about that kingdom other than what wikipedia can give us, so the whole thing carries this sort of... exotic feeling, you know?

Inflation fail? 'sides, you can't go back in time and do all that. It's physically paradoxical.
