Six of Ten Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 It says 2000BC, not 80000000BC my bad, anyway back than, things weren't fished to death, which meant they could grow to full size. that means you might find yourself in the middle of a school of 200 pound Northern Pikes or if you're an unlucky chap and end up in an amazon paleochannel, 60 pound piranhas. basically end up in any river you're likely to receive an ass kicking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoS Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Mmm...giant fish. The odd thing would be the non-native species between old/new world you're accustomed to would be gone. What would you miss the most? I think I'd miss horses the most. Walking sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoS Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 We would have an advantage because we understand the agricultural revolution. Start a farm and barter for food and supplies. Especially in north America and barbarian parts of the old world. It would be tough to get anyone to wait for the harvest, tho. I'd place a priority on domesticating rabbits and chickens or whatever fowl I could find. A handful of rabbits in a hutch would produce enough meat and free up my time to be a farmer. It would take months for vegetables and years for vineyards and orchards. But, it would be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was all low yield farming tho, they were vulnerable to droughts and famine/crop failure. what makes you valuable is high yield farming that could support a moderate population for 2 years off one crop season. that and better irrigation practices, the practices back than were on par with that of sub saharan africa today. Industry is another thing that makes you valuable, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion ElJonson Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Carve a prophecy in something like stone henge fortelling of my birth (in English) and how important I am. I would also go and write the most recent lotto roll over results in the same place I once carved in a cave. I'd then wait arround till I came back and could carry on spending all my millions I just recently won whiles being idolised by all my holy followers. Or, I'd get killed by some crazed horde.

saeton Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'd probably starve to death and then get eaten by a bear 10/10 would eat you I have a pocket knife. It won't last long, but I will probably use it to carve arrows and a bow, then probably search for rocks decent enough for arrow heads, make knives, etc. There were native tribes here, but there's nothing around that would try to eat me unless I'm wounded. Remember that by 2000 BCE we already had domesticated wolves, dogs, cats, horses, and pretty much everything else. Most advanced tools would be made of copper or bronze. I have no idea what iron ore looks like or I'd probably attempt to make weapons out of that.
