Most famous people in history?

Past or present, pastors or presidents.

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

In my opinion there are way too many Americans on that list, and I can a assure you the larger majority of the world would not know who some of those people are. (I hate raining on other peoples Parades :( ) I personally believe that there are people in history who are far more famous than those listed.
