If you know anything about algebra: GAUSS !
The guy is called the emperor of algebra and he deserves the title. In his short life he proofed just about everything and more that was unsolved until then.

The guy was maybe the greatest genius to have ever lived !

method of GAUS: x^4+x^3+x^2+x
5x^4+3x^2+8x
8x^4-5x^2+6x
so you can do the matrix and you can find the x^...

The most influencial to me was HOMER and MOSES
Homer brough Greece out of the dark ages and gave birth to Western Civilization which allowed for the advancements in science, philosophy, governments, etc. And Moses for bring monotheism which played a role in creatin Christianity and Islam.

I can, Mohammed has little to no importance in 2 of the 3 monotheistic religions including christiianity, the largest in the world. Also not including 75-80% of the worlds population. Hell I wouldn't even consider Jesus has the most influential person, because he isn't!!!

well putting a list like that doesn't mean they are are universally influential. Factors like region, political affiliation etc must be taken into account. For example Sun Yat Sen is champion of the modern Chinese state- what does a hobo in down town Melbourne give about the man?

Though he was an ethnic Mongolian, he was heavily influenced by the Turkic culture and "yes" he was a Shaman.

I can't believe Plato is on no one's list....he was the source of pagan as well as Christian philosophy. Very influential.

"I wish fervently that the Turkish barbarians be chased away immediately out of the country of Xenophon, Socrates, Plato, Sophocles and Euripides. If we wanted, it could be done soon but seven crusades of superstition have been undertaken and a crusade of honour will never take place. We know almost no city built by them; they let decay the most beautiful establishments of Antiquity, they reign over ruins."

- Voltaire

The Great Khan was indeed a Shamanist and a follower of the Altaic God of the Blue Sky, Tengri.

Their is evidence though that he may have been influenced by Nestorian Christianity.

Of his descendents, most became Muslim while others became Lamaist Buddhists.

Plato HAd nothing to do with religious beliefes!
He only talked about the role of individuals in a state
and was very influencial in the creation of the US consitution as well as the roman one. He was agianst direct democracy beleiving that you can not trust an average person to make good decisions for the government. The peloponnesian wars were proof of that. As a matter of fact Plato as well as all the other classical era philosophers made religions less influencial, which is why the revival of classical philosophy started the renessaince in Italy, breaking through the suppression of ideas by the church. Allowing the revival or rebirth of classical art, liturature, architecture, and scientific advancements. Plato as well as any other classical philosophers had a major role in the course of world history.

I would also point out that to me, the 2 most important people who walked on this earth was Homer and Moses. Homer for giving birth to western/classical civ. and Moses who gave birth to the idea of Monotheism and therefore allowing the idea of christianity to come up.
