Well right now I'm very fascinated with 1920s Berlin. I mean probably the more interesting thing would be to go to the beginning of civilization or precivilization - like polytheistic times. It would be interesting to see what came before modern religion and culture - what circumstances created the environment or the need for it.
I worked hard learning harmony and theory when I was growing up in Chicago in the 1920s.
I'm obsessed with the 1920s everything from the style to the lifestyle. It was a really cool era.
