‘Roswell. I have to know’
24 Scenes From History People Wish Were Available for Streaming

So long as you end up in the right place, the afterlife must have all kinds of perks. What if, alongside the neverending shrimp cocktail dispenser and human-size dog bed perfectly formed to your exact shape, you were presented with a remote control that allowed you to view any historical event from any perspective you want. What would you choose to watch? An important war? A mysterious death? The moment when the DVD logo bounced exactly off all four corners of the screensaver?

For Redditor Elidor, the choice would be the life of Jesus (“total agnostic here, but this is some fascinating history”), the Battle of Agincourt (“I read about it in detail in The Face of Battle by John Keegan, and it’s fairly amazing”), and the life of the Buddha (“because I like art house movies, too”), among other things. (You’re a pervert, u/Elidor.) 

They then asked r/AskReddit, “After you die and enter the afterlife, you find out that all of history is available for viewing, as it actually happened. What scenes do you view first?”

This is the kind of history their fellow Redditors would like a streaming service to bring to a screen near them…

cingalls 13y ago I'd follow Alexander Von Humboldt through south america. Watch him make the discoveries that would lead to modern understanding of evolution, biology, geology, climatology, anthropology and geography. His diaries of his exploration are completely incredible. With every entry he conveys awe and wonder at the scientific world. It would be amazing to tag along on his journeys.

I'd watch old American Football games, especially the Browns and Bears. I'd check out Cleopatra. Watch gladiator fights. I'd watch the life of Christina Hendricks.
