    Ah, nice. Science is also awesome

    I like most subjects, to be honest. I just enjoy learning, so I also love geography, lmaoooo. But yer... historical sites have given me goosebumps when I’ve gone to certain places, though... Like in Anne Frank’s bedroom, Julius Caesar’s palace ruins, Ephesus ruins, the Cu Chi tunnels,etc etc. It’s just the shit!!!

    I’m actually going to Luxembourg in May to go explore the old the WW2 underground tunnels. The flight was only 45€ so I couldn’t resist :o

    It's actually really hard for me to narrow it down to just 10 but maybe though something like this...

    1. Winston Churchill
    2. FD Roosevelt
    3. Charles de Gaulle
    4. Henning Von Tresckow
    5. Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim
    6. Athelstan I
    7. Elizabeth I
    8. Homer
    9. Thomas Paine
    10. William Marshal

    There's a couple of obscure ones in there I guess. Henning Von Tresckow was a german resistance leader in WW2, Mannerheim was commander of the army of Finland and later president of the country, Athelstan I was an Anglo-saxon king and William Marshal was an english knight - possibly the greatest knight in human history. There's a whole load of mexican and native american personalities I like as well.

    Very nice!

    In defense of my rather obscure and random list, I would just like to mention that the people I named are historical figures of interest, not ones that I necessarily look up to...because that would just be wrong.

    Must these historical persons be deceased? There are many people who have made history whom are still shlumping.
    Asking for my own list context.
    ~~~Um...No?~~~

    Strictly speaking I'd say yes. To be historical persons they must first be dead or at least presumed dead.

    How did I miss this? A few of my favourites(not necessarily because I view them as good, but because they're fascinating in one way or another), in no particular order, are:

    -Jesus Christ
    -Emperor Constantine I
    -Ivan Grozny
    -Queen Cleopatra
    -Josip Broz Tito
    -Niccolo Machiavelli
    -Catherine the Great
    -Princess Ileana of Romania
    -Julius Caesar
    -Maria Skobtsova(bonus points for being a saint in my church)
    -Julian the Apostate
    -Empress Theodora

    There's many more, but these are the ones I can think of atm.
