Once upon a time, I've read a scifi novel, about that time machine.

The plot:
Political parties and churches unanimously protested against its usage.
All secret meetings of parties, and all sacred meetings of religions could have been overheard.

Especially the circumstances of their foundations...

Would be interesting. What would you time travel to see?

Parting of the Red Sea?
Giving of the Ten Commandments?
Rolling back the stone from the tomb?
Council of Nicea?
The finding of the golden plates?

Where was O.J. was that night?

My favorite time travel concept came from Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, by Douglas Adams. In it, a man cannot figure out how to program his VCR, so he invents time travel so he can go back and watch his favorite programs.

I'm think a quick trip back to December 25th 0000 would solve some personal dilemmas once and for all...

OJ is a jerkwater murderer. Twelve is a dozen. Don't care.
Douglas Adams is one of my liked writer, he wrote fictions, nothing to check.

The Bible events? Yes. And many other works which call themselves history, but are unambiguously fictions. The secret and sacred meetings...

I'd sight see for twelve months, take in the Pyramids, the Great Flood water park, ask around about Laban's murder, attend the odd camel race etc. And set up a fast food outlet and quick stop motel in Bethlehem.
