Time travel...or parallel universe?:face-huh:
So what's deja vu then? And when someone sees a vision from the past (or "ghost" in common terminology)...why can't those who see "funny green men" be taken seriously and considered to be seeing into the future...or deja vu from another parallel?
Anyhoo...
AD69. Sweet FA to do with archaeology I suppose but I would like to be in Vesontio when Gaius Julius Vindex and Titus Verginius Rufus, governor of Germany, exchanged messages and allegedly met in secret plotting the downfall of the Emperor Nero. Hugely exciting...the fall of the first dynasty of Rome and the precedent of military might taking the Empire (Vespasian travelled from Judea in case you didn;t know and became Emperor with a ready made dynasty of Titus and Domitian...)
OR
In Suetonius Paulinus' office when he got the mesasge that he was to help with Boudicca's revolt...and didn't do anything and the Second Legion twiddled their thumbs while At Albans and London burned...

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
