Most Important People in History?

If you had to list the top 15 most important people in history, who would you choose, and where would they rank? Also, how would you define importance?

I personally would say importance in this context is based mainly on influence and the scope of one's achievements or discoveries. My list would look something like this:
1. Muhammad
2. Isaac Newton
3. Jesus Christ
4. Christopher Columbus
5. Aristotle
6. Alexander the Great
7. Qin Shi Huang
8. Gautama Buddha
9. George Washington
10. Charles Darwin
11. Cai Lun (invented paper)
12. John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev (tied for bringing the world the closest to M.A.D. it's ever been)
13. Johannes Gutenberg
14. Thomas Jefferson
15. Constantinople

Let's see how much everyone's lists vary.

The most important person in human history was an early homo sapiens from 150 000 years ago who did something. Had he done differently it would have completely changed the course of human history due to the butterfly effect.

Zoras
Moses (same person?)
Caesar
Christ (same person?)
Edward VII
Hitler
etc

Might as well be the one to get it out of the way, why Muhammad over Jesus?

>Constantinople
Do you mean Constanine?

>The only Roman in this list is Constantine.

Donald Trump
Barrack Obama
God
Jesus
Satan
Mao Zedong
Cleopatra
Dr. Seuss
Bill Nye the Science Guy
Siddhartha Gautama
Martin Luther King
Hitler
Karl Marx
Alexander Graham Bell
Stephanie Meyer

>On top of that, the only Roman in this list is the last ranked, behind fucking Thomas Jefferson.

Lol @ Muhammad being above Aristotle

I think you mean Muhammad Ali.

>Costantinople

>constantinople

Genghis Khan had a greater impact than even Alexander the Great.

>Muhammad above Jesus, who he basically ripped off
Mudshit fuck off

>and the scope of one's achievements or discoveries
Leave that out. If their actions had no influence then they weren't important. Simple as that. Importance is literally another way of saying influence.

I'm not sure how important Alexander was. Yeah he brought the Persians to their knees, but then again their empire was in decline anyway. The people generally welcomed Alexander and didn't mind the change of leadership. I wouldn't say it would be far fetched to guess that Persia might have crumbled on itself from infighting. And that's exactly what Alexanders empire did, anyway. He failed to combine the cultures of East and West and thusly his influence wasn't all that huge on future.

>people

??

It's not just about bringing down the Persians, it's how far and wide he spread the Helllenic culture across the middle east, influencing the land socially for centuries to come. Not only that, when his fragile empire fell apart it turned the middle east into a giant power struggle between his generals that would weaken them all and pave the way for the Romans to rise to prominence later. One could argue that if somehow Alexander's empire hadn't fractuted, the Romans may not have stretched so deeply into the east ad they did.

1. Jesus Christ
2. Muhammad
3. Siddhartha Gautama
4. Alexander the Great
5. Genghis Khan
6. Charlemagne
7. Ferdinand II of Aragon
8. William the Conqueror
9. Albert Einstein
10. Sir Isaac Newton
11. Thomas Paine
12. Adolf Hitler
13. Mao Zedong
14. Ramses the Great
15. Yuri Gagarin

So many people come to mind... the above are just a few I could name

I even thought about people such as Ebenezer Cobb Morley, who few will have heard of but who was the father of the Football Association in England. He has directly affected the lives of billions, not through war or conquest or religion, but through the simple pastime of kicking a ball around a field.
A very difficult question to answer, OP.

>Y-Chromosomal Adam
>The leader of the small band of Homo sapiens who suggested travelling a little bit further North, through the jungle we now know as the Sahara Desert...
>The man who first suggested raising a wolf cub...

>1. Muhammad

Cyrus
>all these shitty little desert tribes, like those monotheistic jew weirdos, will be less inclined to revolt if I un-diaspora them
>oh hey wow look at that their culture didn't die out thanks to my actions

I like Napoleon but idk why you'd put him on that list

Looks like French nationalism is on the rise again.

And don't forget Mu-'no ham'-mad is at the top

Listing 15 is stupid, just do 5 and put some thought into it.


1) Jesus Christ/Mohammed/Siddhartha - I don't think separate lines are necessary for the founders of these religions.

2) Genghis Khan

3) Otto von Bismarck [German unification -> WW1 -> WW2 -> Present day Europe]

4) Napoleon Bonaparte

5) Julius Caesar

Don't you mean Alexandria?

>mfw only two people in this thread even listed Cyrus the Great

Cyrus the Great.
He put the Jews back into judea/palestine after which they started their religion again and brought us Christianity and Islam.

>literal fucking who
>important

1) First Being To Have A Conscious Thought
2) Jesus Christ/Moses/Muhammad
3) Augustus Caesar

5) Genghis Khan
6) Ranjit Singh

Good list

Don't forget Phillipe le Bel and Phillipe Auguste

Literally created the modern world. Code Napoleon was the basis of law that overturned feudal law, and with his military expertise, brought the next age of civilisation to the world. Sort of a second Augustus.

>t. muslim

>Most Important People in History
1. Me

The first guy who tried burying a seed

agriculture began independently in several place around the world. there would at minimum have to be 5 or 6 of these guys

Genghis Khan. He knew no color or creed. He just knew that everyone under the eternal blue sky works for something.

Without Scipio and Fabius, Rome would have probably been fucked much earlier.

And we will never knows their names. I know I wouldn't be smart enough to figure it out.

Same goes for the dudes who discovered how to make fire. "The secret is to bang the rocks together guys"

And without Charles Martel, Arabs would have probably continued steamrolling Europe.

>Charles Martel
literally a meme figure
Reminder that the Byzantines had to put up with hundreds of thousands of Arabs when Constantinople was attacked by Arabs compared to the raiding party at Tours at the same timeframe

marx

No Hitler yet? Cmon muh 6 gorrilion

Same but replace "me" with myself

1. Abraham (not lincoln)
2. Buddha
3. Hitler

The rest are irrelevant.
