They even made movies about how it could have been prevented. War games? Most of the James bond movies? You gotta watch documentaries every now and then...

Either people believe, in which case they say "I'd like to go back and hear Jesus speak" or whatever or they don't, in which case there are much better times to go to. Everyone already knows the answer to "was Jesus really the son of God?". They might not agree on it but they know what they think.

I would also like to go to some of Mohammad miracles and so on.

Actually, going in the past and secretly recording famous people having sex would probably make you a god damn fortune. I'm sure people would pay a lot for Mary's sextape or "Napoleon x Marie-Louise".

Again, for people like myself it's obvious that Mary had sex. Mary had a baby, babies don't just happen, there would have needed to be a penis. Likewise for the believers it was a virgin birth so why watch to see.

The religious ones just aren't big questions or controversies. It'd be a waste of time travel.

Maybe those related to Jesus are boring but some events from the Old Testament could be interesting. I mean stuff like crossing the Red Sea or siege of Jericho.

So you are arguing that someone went back in time like you suggested in your initial post and that this is why nuclear war did not happen?

Biggest impact in history (if you can convince people) would most likely be 6000 years ago or so in the Indus Valley and changing their crop system to be more sustainable. Would have a knock on effect and likely make our current civilisation arrive by what we consider 2000 BC.


Stopping the Mongols from destroying the Mideast's irrigation systems likewise be an economic way of massively advancing civilization.

Helping Athens beat Sparta in the Peloponnesian War could have a tremendous impact too, but that's a harder thing to game out accurately.

Although, for sheer hilarity, giving the Aztecs advanced technology would be pretty hilarious, a la Crusader Kings's "Sunset Invasion" where they invade Europe.

Go to ancient Greece / Rome and teach them basic chemistry. Boom. Also mention that sickness comes from tiny creatures, they should maybe look into that. Combine with Simberto's scientific method teachings should do the trick.

All this rewriting history has me musing on what it would be like if Africans had developed gunpowder and used it for cannons and guns before anyone else. Maybe throw in some sailing tech too. They were already among the best metallurgist in the world.

my thinking on how best to speed up development in the past tends towards trying to make the idea survivable in a community. there is some risk of you dying to imperial intrigue and whatnot if you just tried to influence a monarch. it can be a fairly isolated community with some nearby resources such as natural petroleum. your community armed with even rudimentary industrial concepts would be the model that would displace the ancients.

ancient greece looks decent as a starting place. probably try to save athens like someone suggested, then call out plato as a metaphysics obsessed noob and talk with aristotle about making science better.

the delphic oracles, definitely need some exploring.
