A travel back to a famous time and place in history

Travelling back to a place and time in history could be adventurous and challenging, especially for those lime me who are going to choose: year 0. Nazareth.

It should not be such a big issue to understand what I´m going to write on: Jesus Christ´s birth. Instead the big issue could be the fact that I´m treating this theme, especially if you consider that I´m Italian and what does means in terms of religion and culture.

My aim would be to investigate the birth of God´s son and verify the truth of the story narrated by the bible and by the Christian belief itself. I would go to that place and see whether a baby was really born in such conditions in order to save the world.

Verifying the existence of that baby could change a lot of the current way of life. For example costumes, which have been evolving for centuries, could have evolved in a quite different way. This would have determined a fundamentally different social behavior. Furthermore, the calendar and the concept of time itself could have been developed following completely different rules.

Last but not least many political issues and wars could have been avoided or solved in a less dramatic or bloody way. So that travelling back to that time and place could be quite important, since religions have had a big role in human life and evolution.

Discovering and verifying the truth about Jesus Christ would lead us to a different future, where many sins could be viewed as they actually are, just pleasure. In addition to that the use of condoms and other contraceptives could be allowed and not so many Christians in Africa would die because of HIV, as it is happening right now.

The choice of doing this travel back has so many reasons, but there´s not enough space to list them all here and now. I´m quite convinced that I highlighted enough crucial points to be discussed and verified together. I´m ready for your comments.
