Augustus - Rome's first emperor and Caesar's nephew. Defeated Antony and Cleopatra in the battle of Actium. He found Rome a city of brick and left it a city of marble. 3. Edgar Allen Poe - Amazing gothic writer and tortured soul. 4. Aristotle - Great philosopher. He was a teacher of Alexander the Great and a student of Plato. Everyone could learn a thing or two his teachings on "The Golden Mean." 5. Cleopatra - The last Egyptian Pharaoh. She was Greek and she taught herself the language of her people (which her predecessors did not). She was very intelligent, and she seduced two Roman leaders. She is a legend. She was hated by my number 2 choice who publicized a negative image of her.

I want to see if he really was the "Messiah" and did what The Bible says he did. Shakespeare - I'd ask him if he really wrote everything credited to him. Albert Einstein - I'd love to talk to him to see if I'm smart to actually understand anything he says. Marilyn Monroe - I want to see if she really was a size 16. Elvis - I'd tell him to STOP EATING SO MUCH DUDE.

There's no one from history I'd like to meet, which is weird, because I'm a historian! I guess I prefer my historical figures from afar. Kind of like the whole "what past era would you like to live in?" question. Er, none. I'm fine where I am

Sitting Bull/Pocahontas (I'm Native Amercian, nuff said. ) Imhotep (Stole this from BWhammy. ) King Henry VIII Edit: I'm adding Imhotep to my list.

The founding Fathers of America - To Find out why they didn't push harder for the abolishment of slavery after England had banned it. Jesus - Just so I could get his side of the story. I think somewhere along the way he's message was transformed into what man wanted and not what he wanted. President Jackson - So I can persuade him not to displace the Native Americans. His hatred for Native Americans wiped out whole families. On a side note King James to make him follow the same laws that other countries had put in place to protect Native Americans. Akhenaten IV/Nefertiti - I want to know why he switched to worshiping the sun and I want to talk to her. Leonardo Da Vinci - Come on, who wouldn't want to talk to him! Zheng He - Try to convince him to keep on with his voyage after the Ming Dynasty had ended (China might have "discover" America first) Lucy - She is one of the oldest fossils found on Earth. I want to know what humans were like back then. Last one - Harriet Tubman - This is only if I could not get the founding fathers to ban slavery and if China didn't "discover" America first. This is just a few. I have to stop or else I would keep adding to the list. I would love to go back in time and hear the true story of historical figures from themselves.

Actually he was on a lot of medication & some caused water retention. Water retention can sneak up fast & is even harder to manage when one s taking meds to help with other issues.
