I would love to be born anywhere from 500AD to like 1600AD (just before the Scientific Revolutions just started to get into gear). Why? To live the 'medieval' life, of course! I went to a medieval festival and the way the people spoke, the beauty of the women, the stuff we ate and the things we did were all absolutely amazing. Now, I know that the way medieval times are portrayed are somewhat inaccurate, but STILL. That stuff is amazing, beautiful, astonishing...and more!
