Whatever civilization existed before the asteroid impacted the Mexican peninsula. I can't imagine all that was lost.

A new viking castle in Denmark, with lots of artifacts.

I would find a second Baghdad battery, when combined with the first one they would power the Antikythera mechanism. As all good artifact raiders know, it's the only way to hear the truth about The Saqqara bird hidden on the Dropa Stones. Only once all this knowledge is revealed to me, I will know that humankind is still not ready for such knowledge. I well then have no choice but to destroy the whole entire thing with the London hammer, sending myself, and these artifacts hurting back through time. I then learn the truth. Albeit accidentall, I've scattered these artifacts, not where they originated from, but to where they are to be found, and creatthe mystery of how they came to exist lost. I am to become another.artifact for Lara Croft to discover.

Not too exciting, but the Roman's have always fascinated me. I'd love to be there unearthing the city itself and discovering how its citizens lived, fought, governed and died

I 'd like to find 'The Nebra Sky Disk' which probably an astronomical instrument or a religious artifact. There are phases of moon plates, thirty two round gold circles.. It probably used to observe sun's yearly movements by Bronze Age people. To be able to discover an astronomical equipment 4000-5000 years ago is mind-blowing to me!!

Mayans have always fascinated me. I would love to know how they built their structures and what they see as treasure.

Ziggurat and discovering why Summers let fall their civilization.

The Labyrinth of Crete, complete with Minotaurs lol

I'd suggest Sumerian civilization. That would open up opportunities to look for artifacts, leading to Gilgamesh in one or another way, and, of course, as it goes, to his search for the secret of eternal life.

the maya civilization, it's very interesting

I would dig around the ancient civilization of the Mayans. They were known for their predictions of the end of the world, and also discoveries in mathematics. So hopefully while digging around in the dirt I would find some kind of ultimate equation that would get rid of all math forever...then there would be no need to be taught math in schools. It would be great!

I suppose that the artifact I would really like to discover would have to be something Arthurian, perhaps the Round table at which Arthur himself lead his knights, and his people to success.

I'd love to see the Indus Valley Civilization featured in a videogame. Not only it's an extremely ancient civilization, long before the Mesopotamian ones, it is the roots of pretty much all the world's civilization in an age where there was just major one (the Indo-europeans) which then fragmented in all the different ones we know today. And it's end is shrouded in mystery: it seems that it was very peaceful, but ended suddenly and there are mass graves of people killed violently near the main city: probably was invaded by a less peaceful one, as it always happens! It deserves more recognition though.

I would like to discover the artifacts left behind by the aliens before the extinction of the dinosaurs on Earth. Thanks to this discovery, we would find out that it was not a large meteorite, but an experimental project of aliens, which failed and caused the catastrophe. It was a special and complex device that was supposed to move the Earth further away from the Sun, because the aliens needed to lower the Earth's temperature and adapt the climate to at least somewhat match their home planet, which was on the verge of collapse. Their experiment was unique in the galaxy at the time, but they failed to save their own race, and the explosion destroyed them and everything their left behind. That's all I've discovered so far, and just as proof, I need to find those artifacts. Thanks for supporting me.

Library of Alexandria, I guess? Would give us better knowledge of older time periods, possibly helping with barely known civilizations of the time.
