So, your friendly neighbourhood ASB has decided that you need a weekend side gig, and of course you have little say in the matter.

The ASB in question wants you to take important guests on tours of your country/city/local library/miscellaneous "attraction".

The ASB will even let you choose the participants you will be showing around, with two important caveats.

First, they must be known in our time, and second, they must come from a time st least 1000 years in the past.

Groups can be as small as one and as large as 10.

You will receive payment of 1000 USD per person, per day, and the same amount for accomodations per wprson per day.

You also have two weeks of time to plan each tour.

ASB magic will somehow make it possible for you to understand their language and dialect.

Enjoy.

1000 years in the past, minimum.

So you can get Beloslaw the Brave, and maybe his father or his son(s).

Me, I can talk to a hell of a lot of people.

For starters, I will be showing Basil the Bulgsrslayer and a few other 10th century Roman emperors and potentates what happened to Constantinoplebbe thanks to the retarded Bilgar-Byzantime rivalry they kicked off.

The same will be shown to Vladimir Rasate, Simeon I and Boris I.

Along with those of the Turkish massacres and some visits to a few modern museums focusing on the development of nationalism, civic society, and medieval and renaissance weapons.

And the printing press.

And history lectures on the Bulgarian - Byzantine, Bulgarian - Kievan Rus and Bulgarian - Serbian wars.

PS, I know that a lot of people would dislike the 1k limit, but I wanted this to be more original.

Then,i would welcome ERE emperor and Persia Shah from 620AD,and show them museums about their past,and muslim conqests.
Maybe vizits to Iran and Turkey embassies in Poland,too.

And,whoever was leader of Copts in Egypt ten - to show him,how good muslims are for what remain of his people.
Maybe as a result Polad would never become nation,but - if we abort Islam,it would be worth it.
 
Hmm, so first go with an astronomy-focused group.

Anaximander
Aristarchus
Aristotle
Eratosthenes
Hipparchus
Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi
Gautama Siddha
Gan De
Abu-Mahmud Khujand
Hypatia

Ten people net me a 10K budget for the trip, easy enough. We'll rent a tour bus and go to Texas, swinging past the McDonald observatory let them see what the stars are like for modern telescopes. Then we'll visit the Houston Space Center and tour the museum, the Dallas Space Museum, and finally take a public-access tour of SpaceX and watch a rocket launch. Assuming budget permits (it should) we can also visit the Houston Museum of Natural History and maybe a couple others since most of these folks are polyglots even if their main focus was the stars. The total time should be perhaps a week at the most, but more reasonably perhaps three or four days, more if they vote to visit more natural history museums.

After each day's events will host a round table of them debating their conclusions based on what they've seen so far, which I'll record and post to YouTube as an ongoing series. If they argue too much I'll break them down into multiple groups to reduce the number of speakers, and record them separately.
