    Default Back to the Future

    If somebody gone 88 miles per hour on a DeLorean and kidnapped a Hellenic Academic from say...Alexandreia (they got a huge library there) of 272BC back to our time, how would he react to our world? How would he react upon knowing that the romans will be their overlords within 200 years? how would he view our 'barbaroi' nations of 'keltoi', like 'Arche Amerikana'?

    He'd want to be sent back so that he can try and unite the Diadochi against the Romans.

    At that time Hellenic historians were already showing Romans some attention = They saw a power rising.

    What makes you think he would want to go back instead of relish all the sci we have now?

    Cool Re: Back to the Future

    Sooo, I suppose you have just finished watching the Back to the Future series eh? Why else the sudden outburst of an idea, as witnessed by this thread?


    My guess is that the poor lad would most likely be so overwhelmed that he would succumb to some psychological disorder, which is quite common thing for the brain to do when it senses that nay further overload would result in a total psychological collapse or a heart attack/stroke.
