答案 When and where in the past do you want to go?
    If I could go back to a certain time and place in the past, I would choose to go to ancient Egypt, to the time when they were building the great pyramids. This time period and place are greatly interesting to me for the following reasons: First, how were the great pyramids built? Second, Egypt is one of the few places in the world that has as rich a culture as China’s. How did ancient life in Egypt look like compared to existence of ancient Chinese people? Finally, I find this time and place interesting because I am curious about the myths and legends that ancient Egyptians believed in.
    There is much speculation as to exactly how the great pyramids were built. The pyramids are an architectural feat, even by today’s standards. They are massive in size, with almost perfect angles leading up to the point at the top of the pyramid. How did the men manage to carry those enormous stones to the side of the pyramid? How was it possible to cut the stones so precisely, to allow for this even, mathematical design? Current science has analyzed these problems, and has decided that with today’s technology, this would not be a problem. I am very interested, however, to learn how such technology was possible in ancient Egypt.
    I am also very interested in how ancient Egyptian life was like compared to that of the ancient Chinese. Did they experience similar toils, or were their lives very different? Did the ancient Egyptians know about the ancient Chinese? All of these questions would be answered for me if I could travel back to the above-mentioned time period.
    China has some very interesting myths, legends and religions that were formed thousands of years ago. Ancient Egyptians were spiritual people also. I am curious to know more about these ancient religions. Were the beliefs held by the majority, or were there only a few who believed in such ideas?
    There are so many unanswered questions about ancient periods, particularly ancient Egypt. By traveling back in time, I would learn a great amount about topics that have remained unanswered for thousands of years.
