Comment on Why are people from the future not time traveling to our period? (2012)parent

I'm sure there are many historians who would jump at the chance to go back in time and observe ancient bronze casting first-hand.

In fact, it seems like almost every period of human history has at least 1 historian who has devoted their life to studying it. So I think there would be at least some people in the future who would be interested in our present time period.

And, being historians, they would want to avoid making any history-altering changes, so if they do everything correctly, we'd never know they were here.

I have no doubt there would be some people very interested, I'm saying that most people probably won't give us a second thought.
