Info to bring to the past. 1. Soil depletes as you grow with it, so you need to change up what you're growing every season. Also mixing waste materials into soil will almost always help. 2. Sickness is caused by tiny tiny animals that live everywhere. You can kill them with heat and alcohol. Also, if you let sugary foods go fuzzy there's a fun blue-green fuzz that kills tiny animals real good. Also big ones, so be careful. 3. A true method for learning is to observe the world, draw a conclusion of some sort, and then try to prove that conclusion false. Then take that conclusion around, and have others try to disprove it too. Any good scientist makes a few lifelong enemies to help them disprove theories. 4. Most things expand and make force as you heat them. If you put water into a vessel, heat the vessel, and harness the force from the really hot water, you can do a little trolling. Not useful in Greece, but great for moving Coal from a mine to where you wanted to actually use it. Those are the 4 great advancements that would allow you to create a thriving kingdom in the classical period. People aren't dying from mass infections, famine is rare since you have a strong crop variety, your people know how to conduct actual science, and someone just realized they can float boats of coal to the city and sell engines that burn the coal.

As a history buff, I find this especially hilarious for two reasons: 1) There is still debate among archeologists and historians about how exactly they built the Great Pyramids. Even someone who knew what he was doing from our time might've slowed them down. 2) So many time-travel stories are about a random guy who brings future knowledge to past problems, but how many people from the future actually know how the future works? Someone from the future is probably not going to know how to use future knowledge to solve anything *and* would likely be physically weaker than most of the past people he encountered. EDIT: It helps a little that this time traveler is established to bench 250 pounds, which is more than the typical time-traveling protagonist could do, but even people who didn't train back it those days were stronger than most of us today.

People who think they could be a huge help in the past don't realize that they probably don't know the required steps you need to hit before you can get to the part they do understand. The farther back you go, the more steps you have to reproduce from scratch before you can even start on modern tech. You'd also need to find a way to gain enough influence to have it implemented in your lifetime. So good luck with that.

Honestly, that’s not that big of an issue. You arrive carrying a ton of books and extensive translations, having obviously learned the basics a language, and then you go to a point in time where you can maximize your impact, aka. a golden era in a capital city. You wouldn’t get to modern tech but your could leave instructions for a bunch of insane inventions, like the printing press or very simplified guns & gunpowder and visual instructions on how to recreate them. You could basically turn a powerful historical empire into the dominant power of its era and advance the progress of human civilization by entire centuries. Like, imagine how powerful certain basic agricultural concepts would be. Or of course, your ability to carry an accurate map of the world with precise locations. Or your ability to predict certain events of the future and literally change the course of history, logic from these butterfly effects on your own existence aside.

@@piranhaplantX No, you are grossly overcomplicating the simple concept of arriving with an advanced technology, demonstrating said technology and thereby establishing a very straight forward foundation of trust. Is there a chance for things to go wrong? Duh. There is always a chance for everything. But there is a much greater chance for you to end up as a trusted advisor to a powerful noble. For instance, the witch argument. Nobles tended to be far less superstitious of such things than the simple minded peasants. For many nobles or patricians, it was merely an option to get rid of rivals. Witch hunting also only took off after Christianity took off so when you arrive in say, ancient Rome, you are just another exotic trader from distant lands, only that you have the most exceptional offer the local authorities have ever seen and you can prove your promises because again, you have it in your hands. It is not difficult to be noticed if you do notable things. This might take a few months of course but you could easily find work because unlike most people, you can read and to a certain degree, also write and you are also capable of returning to any point in the era you want to influence that you wish because you are a _time traveler_ . Do you understand how easy life is if you are able to literally predict he future? You could have people bet on races & fights on your name to avoid suspicion and make a manageable living until your other plans succeed. It’s not hard to get moderately wealthy and influential if you are one of the "luckiest" people alive and that is only the foundation. Sure, avoiding getting killed in the streets / some odd disease would be an issue but nobody said that that it’s gonna be easy. And now, take the concept a step further and imagine 10 or 100 people can also travel with you. Should be possible to replicate the necessary technology if you were able to do it once already unless the energy demand or broken laws of physics we need to assume for the scenario to even be somewhat plausible are limiting us. You could literally arrive as a part of a tiny army, not worth a lot in a large fight but invaluable to prove your arguments. Imagine the effect of a volley of a early rifles or even a simple canon. That would ( literally ) blow away any doubts about the truths in your promises.

@@piranhaplantX I think it would actually not be that hard, depending on WHERE you land. If you happen to go back into "barbarian" lands then you'd have a hard time. But if you happen to end up in one of the bigger & more advanced empires then you should be fine. There were a lot of poor scholars in history that actually had a lot of influence, so even if you arrive with nothing, if you find the right people you should be able to gain influence. Mathematicians & government officials were always sought after. Even elementary math, physics, bookkeeping & especially our modern number & language system would be quite advanced for them or at least give you quite a bit of leverage (even more so the more "backwards" you go, imagine going back to the times where they didn't have real letters & numbers yet & only lines instead. These mathematical formulas we learn today in school might look simple, but it took people thousands of years of experimenting & trying to figure them out. Or just introduce our modern musical sytem & you just revolutionized the art industry - how music is written, distributed & preserved. Become a scholar, not a king or a hero. The only hard thing would be the initial days: Stay safe until you can convince people that they need you - either someone powerful or an institution.

If you wanted to build something as simple as a flashlight, you would need batteries, if you had a book to guide you could you make batteries, but would you have steel, alkaline and other materials needed for it's production. Unless you plan to bring everything including materials from the future there's not much you could do.

That's why I'd try to set up as a doctor. Even with no fucking clue what I'm doing, I could still outperform most contemporaries by only killing like 7 out of 10 of my patients. Just washing hands and not jumping to blood letting and mercury as the first options will get those numbers down. Just prescribing harmless placebo nonsense is a step up from the activelt harmful nonsense.

It needs electricity. Now you need to grab a Diesel generator, but you don't have enough Diesel. Maybe build a hydroelectric dam, but you don't have steel for the turbines and no way to make cooper wire for the coils. May steal some solar panels instead, but then you also need a transformer. It would be simpler to build something using rope pulleys from contemporary materials. But the solution the ancient Egyptians found is actually a lot more elegant.

Even today no single person really knows THAT much about how the world works, we all specialize and know a lot about one or a handful of things like electricity, or metalworking, or coding in specific languages, design, etc.. nobody can build a car, much less a more basic device like a radio without already having access to a ton of other tools and pieces other people made.

Just for any curious time travelers, here's your answer. The best answer is logs. Lots of logs. Use leverage and several men to move the rock on to a log, which in turn makes it easier (still fucking heavy though) to move. Add a few more logs in front so that when it rolls off the first log, it goes onto the second and so forth. After you roll it forward, the first log it was on will eventually show up from under and behind the block. You can move that back to the front and keep that pattern up, continually using the ones that come out the back as you push forward and replacing them at the front of the block. You then just need a lot of ropes and "servants" to "help" pull it up the pyramid once you get going. And when you make the pyramid make it so that not there are ramps on the outside so that you can keep doing the log thing up the pyramid when you make the first story of it. Essentially, do what the Egyptians did, but take the credit for it lol. But not really, because to us in the future it will still look like "the Egyptians did it" vs that one dude in the weird shirt that said he was from the future.
