If you could see one thing from history, as it happened what would it be?

I've often thought about this, some of the ones at the top of my list:
The massive herds of bison on the American Frontier.
The Crucifixion.
The 1st Crusade taking Jerusalem.
Hannibal's elephants in action.
Roman legions in action against the barbarians in Gaul.
Building/completion of the pyramids.
American victory at Yorktown.

Not sure I could pick just one.

1. Taken part in the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Would have seen the norther Bison herd in their spring migration crossing the Missouri River. Also seen every Grizzly Bear on the northern plains as they dined on the drowned Bison.

2. Watched the Army of Northern Virginia March by on the way to Sharpsburg as well as the Army of the Potomac March by anywhere…

3. Attend the first Rendezvous on the Green River.

4. Travel the Camino Real across Texas during its hay day.

5. Watch a 1,000 plane raid form up from the coast of England.

6. Watch a B-29 raid form up on Tinian.

Battle of Cannae
Battle of Alesia

The titanic

Joan of Arc's campaign from start to brutal finish. Was this peasant child really a military genius?

This is a good one and probably my choice.

1. Watch the debate and eventual ratification of the Declaration of Independence.
2. Watch the vote HoR vote for the 13th Amendment.
3. VJ Day in New York City.
4. Lee surrendering his army.
5. The battle of Agincourt.

1. Crucifixion of Christ
2. Solomon's Temple
3. Baghdad or Nineveh at peak
