well clearly Jesus is the most influential figure in history, if you just make an historian and not a religious analysis. I don't even know where to start to explain what a revolutionary figure it was, literally changed humanity prospective. 

 

From the list i would say Alexander the great and Julius Caesar were most influential than Napoleon. 

 

Also they puth Muhammad, Ghandi and Gengis Khan and they thought this is shows the most infuential persons in the world, not only from a western prospective. Lol.

 

From all the rest of the list, with people really changing science, politics, philosophy, so with an effect for centuries in societies Elvis Presley there seems a joke.

For me, It's definitely Marie Antoinette! I think looking beyond her "Let them eat cake"(she didn't even say that line) image is interesting. It really is interesting looking at what historical figures really were like.

I dont care about politicians :giraffe:

I would like to sit with Albert Einstein, drink coffee while i play him Einstein by Kelly Clarkson
 


And we would talk about math-science-physics-equations and all those smartie things and solve the problems of the world

It’s just reality. Historically, men have been allowed to have much more influence than women and so have also been a lot more influental. Inserting women in the top ten who wouldn’t really belong there erases that fact.

I've always found Marie Antoinette very interesting, I wonder how she acted in her personal life considering most accounts of her are just propaganda.

 

I've always been very fascinated with Genghis Khan, how little we learn about him in schools despite his immense influence on the world.

Jesus is iconic coming from an atheist. Cleopatra, Thomas Alva Edison, Albert Einstein, and Madonna. Prince Diana as well.

King David, Ali, and King Arthur have little factual evidence of their existence. Jesus could probably be put in this category as well. Then you have several people on this list whose lives are notably misconstrued or ahistorical, like Joan of Arc.
