Okay, my second favorite scene, from one of my very favorite movies of all time, the original "Planet Of the Apes"...my favorite scene was the first appearenc of the gorrillas on horses, hunting the humans down...scared the **** out of me when I was a lad...but for some reason, can't find that clip anywhere on youtube...so have to settle for this, iconic scene:

Possibly the very first movie I ever saw, and I remember it well. Ah to be a British officer in the 1870s exploring Africa! I would not trade it for all the money and power in the world.

 

What an adventure that would be. I sometimes think I was born in the wrong century. Imagine exploring some of the last "unexplored regions by Europeans" on earth. The uncertainty of what lies beyond, to believe or not to of the local superstitions, to wander and explore (hopefully with competent officers) and to have stories to pass on. Zulu is one of my fav movies and to live in an era of earthly land exploration would be amazing. Undersea and cave exploration is a different story but nothing would beat colonial era exploration. (Excluding colonial exploitation)

They paid the price of being in a strange land[months from home,ghastly diseases,hostile natives] but imagine being the first European to see the Congo river or a gorilla! Wonderful days,indeed.

Yes, to explore and carry a Martini-Henry rifle or a Winchester unimpeded. Of course there r pros and cons to that time period but overall wow. Lately I've been thinking how it would be being the first expedition on the amazon after Pizzaro showed up at the Incan doorstep. Or the first failed Spanish expedition into Florida of which the straglers barely made it to the Mexican region. Among the last of the great adventures. And then there's Shackleton.

I would have a H&H double of course, but yes the hunting would be unbelivable. No ivory ban in those days. Lewis and Clark expedition would be my choice if I could go back in time. Imagine being the first to go From East to West in the new America.

I have read the Shackleton book. It is unbelievable to imagine humans could survive what they went though. Tough people in those days for sure.
