Question: could one consider Constantine to be more influential than Jesus?
Sure christianity was gaining influence on its own, but had Constantine chosen any other monotheism, or any other cult for that matter, would that have relegated christianity to a jewish sect in a (for example) Mithraist Empire, making Constantine more influential than the original inspiration figure for christianity?

MLK? da vinchi? WTF
Chase Ross
Paul was much more influential than Jesus, since without him Christians would be just a small jewish sect(assuming they even existed at all).
Austin Rodriguez
da vinci was great, but not really important, definitely not more than political leaders or actually relevant inventors plato and socrates might as well be put on one place together i'd say marx should be higher than hitler
the list looks very random desu
Jeremiah Walker
>Anglocentrism thread
Josiah Murphy
>Leonardo in 4th place >Napoleon and Descartes not even on the list
Fucking plebs
Samuel Johnson
>Da Vinci >Moses >Martin Luther King. JR
What?
Why the fuck is Da Vinci even on this list let alone placed so highly, if you want to throw an Italian throw fucking Dante in he has had about as much influence on the world as Da Vinci
No Julius or Augustus
No Charlemagne
No Willem the conquer
I don't know if Oliver Cromwell or Napoleon deserve to be on the list but I'd argue more so than some of those listed
What even is this list
Henry Stewart
More people who deserve to be on the list:
Martin Luther not King
Gengas Khan
Christopher Columbus
Queen Victoria
Jonathan Peterson
>4. Leonardo da Vinci >7. Galileo Galilei >11. William Shakespeare >13. Mahatma Gandhi >14. Martin Luther King, Jr. >15. Abraham Lincoln >16. Moses
these shouldn't even be on the list at all
Alexander Ortiz
da Vinci is more influential than muhammed everyone, holy fucking hell im done
Colton Wood
Nobody from the 20th century deserves to be in such a list. Hitler will be a minor figure, comparable to some of the dozens of Chinese generals that have lost rebellions in the past.
The most influential people would be figures such as Plato, Aristotle, Jesus, Augustus, Mohammed, Buddha, Qin Shi Huang, Alexander, Genghis Khan, etc.

>34. Bill Gates >43. Charlemagne

>67. Anne Frank >68. Descartes
>70. Steve Jobs >71. Kant
Lovely list.
Also, I don't get the obsession about Da Vinci, how exactly did he actually contribute to science and engineering except for drawing a few sketches that no one even bothered to construct?
Colton Anderson
>14. Martin Luther King, Jr. >of all time That's your brain on american education
Zachary Johnson
He was just memed into being considered the quintessential genius, like Einstein.
Leo Torres
Americans should be banned from the internet
Isaiah Morris
whether or not moses was real in a materialistic sense he still existed as a very prominent figure or character that enabled the existence of someone like jesus christ
