Thirteen Places I'd Love To See
After reading Matthew Reilly's "Seven Deadly Wonders", (see yesterday's post) it made me think about places I'd never been and I'd love to see. And of course, I don't have to be reasonable about it.
So, here they are...
Thirteen Places I'd Love To See
1. The Alexandria Library
Before it was destroyed by the romans. Maybe somewhere around the birth of Christ.
2. The Temple of Jerusalem
Just after it was rebuilt by Nebuchadnezzar.
3. Stonehenge
As it was being built. I'd love to know how it really happened.
4. The Great Pyramids
These I'd love to see today or in the past. Seeing them sometime in the nineteen century might be more interesting because you could really explore them then.
5. The Statue of Zeus
Once touted as one of the most spectacular sites in the ancient world, it's existence is myth and legend. I'd love to see if it's true.
6. The Hanging Gardens Of Babylon
Another site of the ancient world that has fallen into myth.
7. Atlantis
Well, since I'm not being reasonable....why not?
8. The Louve
I've always wanted to visit the art held at the Louve. This one doesn't require time travel.
9. The Russian Amber Room
Another myth. It's a fascinating possibility that this room, made completely of Amber stone, was made and spirited away. I first read about it in Elizabeth Lowell's "Amber Beach". I love that stuff.
10. The Lighthouse of Alexandria
From its description, it seems it was HUGE. I'd love to have seen it.
11. Rome
About 50 B.C. It was a bustling place, but without the world domination factor.
12. England
Here I'd love to visit during Roman rule. They did have a period of tranquility (albeit short) before Boadiccia and the destruction that followed. I'd also love to visit England during the beginning of King Alfred's reign.
13. The Via Delorosa
Before it got it's famous name in honor of Christ. I'd love to see Jerusalem in Jesus's time. See, not LIVE there.
Any completely unreasonable place you've wanted to see?
