If you could travel back in time... ...and pick one Marvel of the Ancient World to help build/create...which one would it be?
OR ANY OTHER OF YOUR CHOOSING.
...and WHY?
BTW - what I mean is to have been a part of its creation - as an architect designing it, a sculptor decorating it, or (if you get off on whips & chains) as a slave carrying bricks and mortar, or whatever.
To have been a part of building something timeless would've been amazing IMO.
What say you?

Actually I didn't limit it to the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (Pyramids, Colossus of Rhodes, Hanging Gardens of Babylonia, Temple of Venus, Tomb of Archimedes, Statue of Zeus, Lighthouse of Alexandria I believe
- Giza - Hanging Gardens of Babylon - Machu Picchu - Timbuktu - Angkor Wat - Hagia Sophia
...but you could choose any.

)...I specifically just said "Marvel" to mean ANY ancient wonder, which is why I included pics of a few;To be fair, I will answer my own thread.
I would choose to go back in time and be one of the planners for the pyraminds at Teotihuacan in Mexico.
Teotihuacan was built by the lost civilization of the Toltecs (subject to scholarly debate) which gave rise to many of the shared aspects of meso-American culture. I've read theories stating that this may have even been founded by wandering Atlanteans!
So yeah, I wouldn't have wanted to have been a sacrificial victim around that time...but definitely one of the intellectual priests or whatever who had the ancient knowledge needed to build these things without even the use of the wheel!

So then you would've liked to have been a part of the ancient interstellar expedition that planted the seeds of life on this rock in space?

LOL at Mach! I was thinking the exact same thing!
To answer the question... I would want to be involved in whichever one paid me the most!
