Re: Top 10 most important figures in Europe's history
Me too, I'd chose more "humanist" characters, well I mean, those who made humanity higher and gave a meaning to their life and to ours.
If I were to make a list, it'd share some of yours SoT.
1 - Wheel inventor(s)
2 - Agriculture : crop culture
3 - Breeding : those who domesticated wild animals and cattle
4 - Medecine : Hypocrates, Ambroise Paré
5 - Architecture : arch inventor
6 - Navigation : veil inventor
7 - Photography : Nicéphore Niepce (our society is full of images)
8 - Cinema : Auguste and Louis Lumière (usefull for propagandists)
9 - Printing : Gutenberg
10 - Electricity : Volta, Edison
11 - Music : the man or the men who discovered they could play music with stones, wood or empty bones!
