You'll never get to meet Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, or Abraham Lincoln. Maybe you'll get to meet Trump. That's about it.

For me it's a shame we don't have the perspective from other people in antiquity. Take for example the Thracians, they didn't leave us any writings behind so we have to rely on what the Greeks wrote about them to have some idea on who the Thracians were. Sorta similar to the Persians, and while there is inscriptions behind, we get a lot of the history of the Achemenid Empire from a helenocentric viewpoint. Episodes like the Greco-Persian Wars are seen from a Greek perspective and it's very possible that the Persians didn't see it as a big deal.

No. Make science raise them from the grave if it matters so much. Guess what? They'd rather bring back dinosaurs. Cause that's fucking epic!

They didn't leave behind their own writings. We only know about them from Roman descriptions that didn't really understand them that much. And were probably biased. We actually don't really know that much on what exactly the Druid religion was about ... Copied to Clipboard!

Nah. They had their chance, they left their mark, and now it's my turn to live in the world they shaped. That's how the world works - you live, you affect the world in whatever way you can, and then you leave the world to the next generation.
