    Default Julian Caesar and Other Historical EoFFers

    ‎​If you could go back in time as any historical figure, who would you be?

    Additionally, would you live out their life exactly as they did or would you make any changes that might perhaps alter the world as we know it today?

    I'd be Cleopatra, because she's a badass. And I sure as hell wouldn't kill myself via snakebite (or at all).

    Unfortunately there's a pesky bullet bundled in with that combination.

    I want to be Alexander the Great and not go to India, so I won't get malaria and rule the world.

    Cleopatra was freakin' badass. She was wealthy beyond belief, highly intelligent, was worshiped as a goddess by her people, and ruled over the most culturally and scientifically advanced nation of the Ancient world. Things I would change: Not align myself to Marc Anthony, since he was buffoon who led to her ruin.

    And it's not likely that she died from a snake bite. It was probably more likely that she died from a mixture of poisons like hemlock and opium. This was after repeated attempts to kill herself while in the custody of Octavian.

    Agreed with Cleopatra. She is probably the most powerful woman historical figure I can think of.

    I'd be Henry VIII and I would keep England Catholic rather than inviting the disaster which occurred.

    How would this work? would we share minds or would I inherit the experience and take over from there?

    Because if you made me Albert Einstein I would just be stupid PG in a white man's body.

    In either case I'll pretend it's the former and take over Don Juan's life. Except I won't be dragged into hell. What do you mean he's not real?

    Alexander the Great it is.

    Jesus, but instead of a martyr I'd be a superhero.
