Choose a place and period to live in and an occupation. Also, assume the past fits your ideal.

I think pre-Islamic Arabia would be bad ass. Imagine living in pic related and being a high-priest/wizard/sage. Pretty comfy to me.

No, this isn't a "what if" thread. Share comfy existences.

No matter how rich you are, you can't go to present day Saudi Arabia get drunk in public with local women and then have an orgy.

Locals have been infected with Islamic puritanism. So, you may not get beheaded, but local women will stay away from any debauchery you wish to partake in.
Being idle rich in modern times is still awesome though, but can't take away the feels.

Breed various slaves from all over the world and go to the forum to debate some pleb over philosophy, then go home and feast and breed said slaves again.

I'm sorry you're incapable of the high levels of discourse expected here. It is a technical term in the interpretation of texts.

As historians, or at least history-fans, surely the only time we'd want to see is a time that we can know nothing about from records today.

So the Indus Valley before Indo-Europeans swept them aside, Nigeria immediately pre-iron, North America, the Mississippi valley, in 1450, and so on.

United States between 1900-1925. Everything was happening then. Great hope for the future, everyone was possible. (With the exception of WWI and post-war Europe) everything was rocking. Jazz! Flappers! Real gangsters (many considered folk heros.) What an amazing time it must have been to be alive.

Year: The Timespan of living Jesus.
Place: The Philistines.
Occupation: Cartographer.
Reason: There is a small number of biblical historians. Who support the historical truth of an advent of Genocide at the time of Jesus. A secret code depicting a secret history at the fall of the second temple. The desecration by the hands of the Romans on the Philistines. The Romans when they invaded a place they razed the whole area. They did not like the Arameaens or the Canaanites at all, however, if they were Roman citizens that is a different story. It is said that they masterfully withdrew all bones from the Philistines. And in place put the bodies of Romans under roman rites in place of the Philistines. It is said that out of the 10 or 12 tribes around 3-5 of the tribes were entirely genocided. The others converted to Christianity or Pagans. They must have done something very bad for certain tribes in the philistines to have been completely wiped off. It is said that in the book of revelations there is an encryption that states, that any jew from the future, that says is a jew, is not a jew. they were completely wiped. It is impossible.

So any legal matter of truth cannot be disputed under Israel or any kingdom. But history of the philistines.

A lot of missed opportunities at that time.

According to consensus. They also buried Scythians in the Philistines. They may have betrayed Roman trust and sided with another Kingdom, Parthians. So the Romans showed them hell. The complete removal of information. Damage to history to be made aware by a jury per eternal trial. They also believed three kingdoms came for the Philistines. The Romans, The Parthians...

Trying to find my preferred balance between comfy and grand.

>>493110 is hard to beat, but perhaps I'd be a Saxon housecarl/thegn in England during the Vendel Period. Vikings haven't totally fucked us yet, and I get to see Anglo culture in its purest form. I'd be something of an officer in the Jarl/King's military and a court official. My goal would be to have a runestone erected on my honor.

To practice false entitlement based on a faulty history in order to rob people is the worst thing in the Roman law book. They'd kill a whole country who practiced that, not only to keep legal disputes clean but it is the worst form of treason.

Why do that in Saudi Arabia when I could do it here in America on any Thursday night I want, and have modern healthcare to boot?

You mean being a peasant living in people's shit? That's more likely by many factors
