If you could go back in time and grab one item...

30 Comments

You can go back to any date in history and grab ONE item. The item has to be relatively small, you have to be able to carry it yourself. You have to know where and when you can grab the item, you only get one chance to grab it (you have one day max to get it).

It can't be plain old money, it has to be an item. NO LIVING THINGS!! It CAN be something of personal or monetary value, though. It could be something that you lost or it could be something like a souvenir off the Titanic. It has to be something we KNOW exists (or existed) and you'd have to figure out when and how to get it, it's all up to you, if you fail you do NOT get another chance so choose wisely!!

I've put basic categories, you can comment on the specifics of the item you choose.

A religious relic. 9
A piece of art. 16
A piece of jewelry. 7
A significant (now or then) historical item. 29
A regular, everyday, historical or vintage item. 6
A personal item you lost. 28
Other (COMMENT!) 14

    I would go back to 48 B.C.E and take a manuscript from the library of alexandria before it burnt down.

      How would you know if it's even real, what it even looks like if it is real, and when you could grab it? You have to know an exact date to go back to to get your object....That's a bad gamble.

        alright, I didn't think this thru, lol. It just popped into my head as the first thing that people have wanted to possess.
        It's a good question, but with tough conditions :D
        There's rumours of lost ancient Buddhist scrolls. I'd need to do more research to find the right temple and century, but that'd be my choice as I value lost human knowledge higher than anything material.

    I'd snatch a copy of Zeno's Republic. It was a very controversial and talked about book in Hellenistic Greece but no copies are currently known to exist

      The power cord for my PS2 Slim that I think my parents left when they sold the cabin. (I have the PS2 itself, the tv hookup x2, plenty of controllers, my games, no power cord.)

    A pair of panties I left in a man's car. Recovering them before their discovery would have saved me a lot of grief.

      How come they are known as a pair even though there's only one of them?

        As opposed to a bra that's always singular?

          But a bra has cups (which are plural, at least in most people). I'm pretending to talk semantics because I enjoy discussing underwear.

            I hate brassieres. I would prefer to not wear one and have a man walk behind me holding by breasts up for me.

            Volunteers?
