King Khufu of ancient Egypt.

I want to know how and why those pyramids are built the way they are. I'm sure he could help with uncovering many other things about ancient Egypt too.

Bruce Lee hands down!

Not only was he one of the greatest martial arts practitioners, he was a very smart man when it came to philosophy and psychology of life and humans. You can tell he has such a great soul and a pure mind from watching his interviews and just looking at his daily life pictures, you dont really find people like that anymore. He keeps it real!

Plus, he can show all of these MMA and UFC hyped fools what real mixed martial arts is about with Jeet Kune Do, haha. He would be champion every season, I put my money on that.

I 'd like to bring back Thomas Jefferson so he could give the straight dope on what the founding fathers intended. Jimi Hendrix would be my second choice.

Yes, Leonardo Da Vinci would be my main, second choice would be Albrecht Durer who I`m very inspired by.
Third, perhaps the Beatles, well at least George & John.
