But when count in all the "olds" and then the youngs who are learning about Beatles...it has to be a lot. Just name recognition, anyway.

LOL now that you've come out with the Ancient Aliens stuff I suspect ye be trolling, and you're wrong about Abraham (maybe he was considered real by scholars in the 1950s), but I'll admit, I'm intrigued - please explain this "mitochondrial Eve" concept!
Beatles, man.
Of all humans ever to live, a massively disproportionate percentage were alive during or after WWII, meaning Hitler is way too low on the list. The population of the WORLD is estimated to have been sub-1 billion through the 17th century (pre industrial revolution). About 2.5 Billion people were alive during WWII and…
Game of Thrones' opening is awesome in that it has catchy music, cool visuals, AND (most importantly) educates you on the confusing-ass world you're about to observe (it's a moving map). It's brilliant.
Genghis Klan?

Game of Thrones is my favorite title sequence. Not only is the music awesome, but the map and buildings assembling themselves is cool as hell.
Confucius? Seems like the biggest omission to me.
Even at 108 degrees, she's still not as hot as people want her to be.
Sachin Tendulkar is the most famous athlete in a country with a billion people. He's top hundred.

Somewhat related/not worth starting a new thread for is that Pele is likely at least as famous as Ali globally.
Hate to say it, but Michael Jackson AND Michael Jordan were may more popular than Ali.
Good point. So we bump Ali/Elvis and George Washington for sure, and I'm thinking Hitler while we're at it. Abraham always got into the backfield and destroyed his enemy regardless, but Hitler tended to fold when he got behind enemy lines going east. Plus, WHO WANTS JELLO SHOTS
My Genghis Khan cult is tax exempt...
"Religious figures notwithstanding"
So Genghis is disqualified.
He was AWESOME for the Jets, led the league in DUI's one year.
Come on, Abraham made some Pro Bowls but seriously, dude played mostly in Atlanta at DE before the position was cool and never even reached a Super Bowl.
I've got no problem with veggies, man, I just don't see the appeal of lettuce. Even if it's fresh chopped/shredded, it'll wilt under the heat of the steak.
