You should totally do a huge historyfuck thing and be buried with all kinds of artifacts that made dating your body impossible:) And have a huge fuck-off ancient Egyptian mausoleum built.
I don't know where you get the thing about women's suffrage, though. Spain seems to have been one of the crappiest countries for it in Europe. If it was just a couple of posh women or unmarried or married somewhere being able to vote, that's massively different from universal suffrage. (Which, BTW, we got in 1906, the first in Europe, and we also got the first female parliamentarians in the world, which is why I'm picky about this.) There's a good timeline for it here.

But, yeah, historical dates like that are always a bit... stunning, when you feel like there's some epic stuff going on. I get the feeling that we'll probably be known as the Internet Age as that has to rank right up there with fire, the wheel and the stirrup in the list of human inventions. I still find it weird to believe that there are so many people now who have grown up with mobile phones and the internet always having been there, which probably shows you what an old fogey I am. Time goes by really fast, doesn't it?
