One of mine is diving for buried deep sea treasure & my favorite Shipwreck is The Atocha.
This page tells the story of the dangerous search and amazing discovery of the Atocha.
Has anybody besides me ever wished they were treasure hunters, looking for sunken treasure, discovering something that has been buried under the sea for many years & to be the first to look upon it again?
What's your favorite historical fantasy/dream and have you ever lived it/done it? :eek:

I enjoy travel and envision myself as seeing all the great centers of history. Well, not all, of course, but a whole bunch!
Still have many to go, but I'm working hard at fulfilling that dream! I've already stood on:
Pyramids in Egypt
Parthenon in Athens
Colosseum in Rome
Great Wall in Beijing
Kremlin in Moscova
Temple Mount in Jerusalem
Pearl Harbor in Hawaii
Countless sites in the USA -
Or, being a member of a raiding party on a Viking ship.
Or, a court servant during the height of Egypt's power.
Or a musician during the royal period in Japanese history. -
It would have been fascinating to have been with Cortes in the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, prior to hostillities with the natives. The Spaniards were there, as guests, for three or four months before fighting broke out.
