If you could travel back in time, without making any changes to the time line, what are the things you want to do?

The first thing I'd want to do is rescue the scrolls from the library in Alexandria just before they were destroyed.

And now that I'm older, another thing I'd like to do is talk to my late grandparents and find out more about them.

(Both of these quests are essentially the same, recovering lost information)

Question

[sweetmmeblue]

How would rescuing the scrolls nit change the timeline? That would add so much information, there maybe things in there that would change the timeline had they not been destroyed?

[deguspice]

The library would still be destroyed, but the information in the scrolls would not. That wouldn't change the timeline between now and then, people would continue to think that the scrolls were destroyed during that period. Going forward in time, the timeline hasn't yet occurred, so there isn't a timeline to change.

[sweetmmeblue]

So you would save them just to save them and not share them in that timeline?

You could save them and then "discover" their hiding place in the present day, surely?
