Not knowing any Buddhists, it is nice to see a fresh perspective - and especially one so detailed and well thought-out. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this.

If you're still living on earth, your still going for that goal. My theory is this, based on my religious beliefs, any time period or place that attracts you, is merely a repressed memory of a past-life. Therefore, any time period or place I relate to is because I've already lived through it once, and that lesson was learned, so I was able to move on, to new experiences. With that in mind, I'm able to enjoy my current life knowing that I had already experienced a great adventure previously, even if I can't fully remember it now. Places and times (I don't know exact dates, not a history buff, sorry) I know I had a past life include, before written history, during the lifetime of Siddartha in India, during the life of Jesus also in India, during the time of the Samurai in Japan, during the Chinese takeover of Tibet, in Tibet, I died during the attack on the capitol. OK I'm going to stop, as I'm starting to sound a bit crazy. By the way, I was not a famous historical person during any of my past lives, I was never anyone special, just a regular guy, sometimes girl. One parting thought to ponder, Buddhism states that for every person whom you merely brush shoulders with in your daily life is someone with which you've shared 500 lifetimes, so imagine the amount of past history you have with the people you love and love you back. It's mind blowing. Sorry I kind of went off. I don't normally share this kind of stuff, sorry Colin. In my religion, it is believed that each being lives many lives, until they reach nirvana.

But, its fun to speculate and chat about. Anton: You’d probably be the guy to pick up the charcoal and draw on the sides of the cave while others are cooking up your Mammoth for you! :)

I do have to admit that I sometimes find myself wondering just what it was like 'back then' and think about how differently I would view life. If I had to choose a single time, I'd have to go along with you Colin (and your spiritual side), in that I'd want to pick a time and place of Biblical significance. I'm afraid I can't narrow it down much more than that, as it's very difficult for me to settle on any sort of 'rank'.

I guess there are a lot of time periods that would be interesting, but none that I <em>really</em> would want to go back to. I never really “wished” I could go back in time.
