You would find the Sumerian. We still use their technology today.

This is from 4000 BCE!

If you really want to understand the true history of this planet, not the jettison the teach in school, study this culture, you will be intrigued.

Peace

I would go back to a time, perhaps 12,000 yrs BCE,to the British Isles when life was simple.. You hunted , you gathered or you died .. To live in those small groups before there were towns and cities... When respect for the Earth (our Mother) was paramount..To perhaps witness and be a part of the first stone being laid at Stone Henge (which was about 10,000 yrs BC) To live free , with no wars or even rival tribes.. Not have my beliefs rubbished by follower's of false religions.. The Earth was clean, the air was pure.. The water unpolluted.. A time when man had respect for the Earth and everything that lived and grew upon it...A time long since passed...... Blessed Be )O(

Imagine living in a very cold place, sparsely populated, where not even the rudiments of most things we take for granted were even available.

Clothing is very much a patchwork of various animals, so that a polytheistic religion develops around animal gods (since they are the one's who sustain you), and each tribe has a seperate 'sacred cow'. Some tribes hunt polar bears, others hold them sacred and refrain, neither of them knowing why exactly.

Life, therefore, is simply a daily struggle to find and/or maintain the status quo: warmth, shelter, food. Larger questions of 'god' are rarely discussed simply because too much time and energy is given over everyday to maintaing the basics: who has time to wonder what the nature of the world is like if you spend 8 hours simply trying to get something to eat. The nature of the world is your life.

It does not mean that the 'supernatural' does not occur, simply that any 'acts of god' (sudden inexplicable lights, animals dying, warmth or coolness, even the changing weather) become questions that you carry like burdens with you, burdens that are buried under the daily routines used to sustain you.

You live and you die with only the smallest inkling of what anything is about, and terror is what you carry with you into the darkness.

i would use my knowlege of science/chemestry, seasonal changes, and other such things, to become a man-god myself.

and then after living in that time for 50 or so years, i would come back to modern day with MINT condition ancient relics of all the things that science has not yet found.

then i owuld lead the expidition to uncover my own ancient temple.

claim myself as the resurection of an ancient god and start a new religion....

(assuming that i can somehow find a way to rid myself of a conscience in the distant past. )

i would go back to before mohammed was born, so that i could live near and in the Ka'ba with the freindly pre ilsam arabs.

(nothing wrong with polytheism, so long as you practice good morals.)
