Historical Moments I would love to see:
1) Just about anything during the rule of the five good kings of Rome. The empire at it's height. Preferably Marcus Aurelius, the last of the five good kings, before he handed it to his #$%&ed up son. (Yes, Gladiator has some vague connection to historical record.)
2) The construction of the pyramids in Egypt.
3) Atlantis - or at least, whatever the hell it really was.
4) The truth behind Arthur and the legend of Camelot, no matter how nondescript and grimy it may have been.
5) The eruption of the volcano somewhere near Papua New Ginuea around 545 AD that heralded the dark ages. (and made Krakatoa seem like a pop gun)
6) I'd like to witness Shakespeare, or whoever really wrote those epics, writing them.
7) The moon landing. Preferably from the moon itself :)
8) The defeat of the 300 spartans at Thermopylae. Alternatively, The Alamo, or Custer's Last Stand at Little Bighorn. You get the idea.
9) The sinking of the Hood and, later, the Bismarck.
etc..
