I'll throw this up for discussion
.
Who from history would you love to have met for a chat? Two of mine: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, (a music genius) and Delia Derbyshire, another music genius who loads have never heard of. She was pioneer of electronic music and created the Dr Who theme.
Open to the floor to discuss... |

Adolf Hitler,so I would have seen at close hand if there was a possibility of redemption for him before he became evil. |

Queen Elizabeth the First.
Her mother was beheaded, her father was one of the best known kings in English history, she was fiercely intelligent, barely knew a minutes privacy in her entire life and was one of the best known queens in English history.
I doubt she'd agree to meet me though. |

Her portraits don't show a woman of great beauty that's true but I wouldn't say they show an ugly one. In her later years she had to be caked in make up to maintain a youthful appearance for public confidence. She probably either had black teeth or no teeth too but that wouldn't have been unusual. To my mind though she's a fascinating character. |

Ghengis Khan. He was brutal to those that crossed him but very protective of Those close to him. Also managed to unite the dozens of Mongol tribes that had previously raided each other and bind them to become one of the most feared armies in history.

My dad, I'd like to have known who he was.. 
Just messing I knew him well, I'd have to say I've Connelly, in 1812 she was made homeless by the the then Duke of Devenshire, by all counts a very powerful man. Everywhere she turned she got no help as some of those days had no voice, so in her disparation she stood on the corner of Oxford Street and voiced her disgust to all that would listen, and people did listen they stopped and listened. This was the first time in history women had a voice, and no where in history will you find anything about it, she got her home back, her livelyhood and reputation as the finest whorehouse madam in London back.
Ida was my great grandmother and from the sounds of it a pretty cool chick |

"Hmmmm... I'd say my dad. Apparently he is still alive and kicking but he's been history for me since I was a nipper! 
Apparently?"
As far as one knows or can see.
Seemingly evident.

I'd say any of the Egyptian architects who were behind Egypts well known pyramids because the technology they had available still befuddles the world today. It's no coincidence that they all reside on the lines where natural energy is strongest, as well as them being harmonically perfect and even align with the stars. Not to mention the incredible size of the blocks used to construct them. |

Don't get me wrong, she was a very powerful person, for a woman in her time definitely sent some ripples.
I'm just referring to several historic accounts that tell even from a young age she wasn't blessed with beauty. Course could be bullshit but was named the virgin queen so dunno  |

She was a very powerful person full stop. She was called the virgin queen because it was widely believed that she was one, however she was not short of suitors and was rumoured not to be a virgin at all. |

You may be right and I probably share those thoughts, however I know history has many tales thrown in to complete some of its missing information, we barely know some events that happened last century let alone 5 of them ago
Suppose we'll always have to use our imagination and wonder  |

"Nikolai Tesla"
probably the most intelligent person ever to walk the planet.
I'd also have like to have had a pint and a chat about music with John Peel. Many have tried to replace him and what he did, few rarely get even close |

Along the same lines, Tommy Vance. Like to ask him why he recommended the Men at Work Album I bought. Only time I didn’t agree with his recommendation, which probably makes him perfect. |

My paternal grandfather. I would want to hear about his experiences in the Great War, as almost all his story has been lost since he died, and I wasn't told much. |
