What you enjoy and are interested in doesn't make you shallow. There is just no duty or obligation to choose a time where you can learn or see major historic events play out.
I had thought about saying I'd like to visit the time of Moses, see the plagues, see the Red Sea part, hear him when he comes down from the mountain with the Ten Commandments... but I'm sure the reality was nothing like the Cecil B.
