If you could travel back in time and record a 1 minute video, when and where would you go?

First minute of the known universe

The first time our ancestors made fire

My grandparents' house the day that my son learned to walk, straight into my grandfather's waiting arms.

library of alexandria burning. 60 seconds of what we lost. historians would lose their minds

I’d go to ancient Rome during a gladiator fight just to feel the madness for a minute

How about two Dinosaur's fighting.

Tiktaalik coming out of the ocean for the first time

I think I'd want to talk to a peasant woman and record what she has to say about her life.

Back in 2010 to convince my future self to buy bitcoin in bulk

The moment they built the pyramids. I’d stop the theories and show the work

If from space. The ELE of the dinosaurs. That impact would be seen from half way around the world

If it happened, the resurrection of Christ

That mini sub imploding trying to get to the Titanic

Honestly, my first thought was one of the Christmases in the 90s with my dad’s side of the family. Huge, chaotic, music, food, funny traditions (a stolen wooden road sign was awarded to someone each year). Now my 30ish cousins are old enough some of their kids have kids, so there’s no more giant gatherings. All the big historical things people are saying would be cool to see, but no one would believe you that it’s real.

Probably some huge dinosaur migration.

I’d go back to the first guy who decided to clap when a plane lands and just watch him.

I'd become the first person to make the fish stick=fish d*** joke and do it to kanye probably.

Since everyone here is going to film all the historical videos, i will just go back to the first minute when i met my now gf

June 2003, The night before my mother passed away. It was her birthday and she seemed pretty happy. I forever wish I had a minute of that moment on video. 

Toss up between battle of Thermopylae or Roswell just so I could know.

The last minute I felt genuine happiness.

Kings Rd Chelsea in the 60’s..

A random normal day in the 1800s .....see what everyday life actually looked like, not textbook versions.

Hobart Zoo in the 1930s and film the last Tasmanian Tiger in HD, with audio. All the surviving footage of them is silent. We may never know what they sounded like.

I think I’d go back to my own childhood there’s something really special about capturing those small, everyday moments that feel so ordinary at the time but turn out to be unforgettable. Just a minute of playing, laughing, or being with family would be incredible to look back on. It’s like freezing a piece of pure nostalgia that you can revisit anytime.

Nobody gonna say the moment jfk was shot? To find out who really did it (if any conspiracy theories are true)

a random ordinary day from my childhood the kind you don’t realize you’ll miss

probably woodstock '69. not even for the music honestly, just to see what that crowd actually looked like from inside. every photo makes it look either magical or disgusting and i need to know which one it really was alternatively, catching freddie mercury at live aid. even the existing footage gives me chills, can't imagine what a raw phone video from the crowd would feel like

The fall of the Roman Empire.

India winning the 1983 Cricket World Cup

An alternate angle of the Patterson footage.

Is travel back to the US Constitutional Convention and just film myself beating off and laughing. I think it'd help.

Back one minute

How about seeing our ancestors fighting a dinosaur
