Sort of an off-shoot to the "4 people to dinner" thing. If you could have 4 people but vs just chatting it was with the expressed mandate to explain the modern world to them - not to walk around in it, but maybe sit down and show them (pics videos etc) and explain what's happened w/the world since....
Off the top I'm thinkin:
Alexander the Great
Da Vinci
George Washington
Mozart
Would be awesome just to show three of the Founding Fathers (Washington, Jefferson, and Adams maybe) and Abe Lincoln what's become of the country they founded and kept together.
Do our four people from the past get to go back to their era, and do things differently with their knowledge of the future? What would Jefferson have done differently, if he had spent a day in 2010? Would Kennedy and Johnson have fought the Vietnam war, knowing that we would lose, but it wouldn't matter if we did?
Back in the 80s, I used to sit and chat with a guy who was an extreme conservative WWII vet who became the local commander of the American Legion. I asked him one day, If you had known then that America would turn out like it is, would you have fought for it? He looked out the window and thought for a moment, and said "Maybe not".
OK.. Eleanor of Aquitane
Boudica
Isabella of Spain
Elizabeth I
