    Default Who is the greatest person ever in the history of humankind?

    Who is the greatest Man (and in the interest of fairness I include woman in this) in your opinion to ever have existed on earth.

    My vote would go to Leonardo De Vinci, because he was the greatest painter of all time with his famous pictures such as Mona Lisa, the last Supper, and Adam touching God. He inspired other great artists after him. He also conceptualised a helicopter, a tank, concentrated solar power, a calculator, and many other things. He was a man way a head of his times in terms of anatomy and engineering.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I totally agree with all the priase you give to Davinci. However, I find it difficult to place him as the greatest man of all time, matter of fact, I wouldn't be able to opalce nobody in that position as there is too many various fields of researches involved and too many persons played a vital role in some key moment. DVC has to be there though.

    It's impossible to say, a shortlist would probably include, but not limited to:

    Einstein- nearly everything we know on major science calculations stemmed from him, considered one of the smartest people ever

    Steven Hawkins- debilitating illness, yet can still speak via a computer he invented (I think) and has an incredible brain.

    Borlaug (sp?)- don't know much about him, but I know he invented strains of crops that were disease resistant and that alone saved billions of lives in the third world and other places.

    Jesus- lived twice for starters, he's got to be bookies favourite for top spot

    Newton- Gravity amongst other things

    Columbus- discovered the world was not flat and discovered stuff

    The guy who invented fire should be in there

    As should the guy who invented the wheel



    I could go on showing off my poor knowledge of incredible people, but I won't.

    I'll go right in the middle of history: Thoth Hermes Trismegistus 3rd and all his other incarnations before and after.

    Leonardo was an amazing person,and just. He had to keep secret much of his knowledge because the Roman church would have had him burnt had they known the sources of his wisdom. (Which was and is a direct threat to their control of their masses).

    He was very observant too, the dragon fly from creation is the very first helicopter design.
    Leonardo knew the secrets behind sacred geometry he was taught the spiritual fields that surround the human body known as the Merkahbah. He drew them in perfect symmetry around the human form in that picture where the man is spread armed and he has the Adapted ancient symbol (Mosern day Jewish star tetrahedrons drawn around that man in perfection. Its proof to some that he was privy to the way.
    I've held one of his sketches of a womans face once from a private collection.Even though his knoweldge was delicatley taken into an art form so many could see it, the golden mean and other symmetrical geometries found throughout the stars and within creation in microscopic form were bought to light on Earth through a few others before him, one I've already mentioned.
