As a history major I get asked this question a lot and tbh I don’t think I would really want to travel back in time after studying about the past so much. We humans tend to over glorify the past a bit too much and the past is often crueler than we think. BUTTT I won’t mind checking out Elizabethan age

Like so many people, I never cared for history. It was always just a bunch of dates, cause-and-effect relationships, and names I had to memorize last minute before an exam. Now that I’m so many years separated from all that, I’ve finally found that I’m entering the pro-history phase of my life. I mean, it’s just so interesting. There’s such finite details available about everything, and sooo many different little niches with tons of resources equally as available as the obvious stuff. oh and it’s true, which is both terrifying and cool.

i read only one book about it, but i guess in a broader sense i find the history of time keeping and astronomy/logy(it was practically the same during most of history) really interesting. thinking about a time before light pollution, being able to see the milky way with the naked eye. etc. one of my profs said that history is the story we tell ourselves about the past, and that the past (happened but) does not exist. that blew my mind a bit.
