Famous People Around The Globe

Heh. I've always thought that was Frederick Douglass, not Karl Marx. He looks black in that picture. Come to think of it, I never noticed until now, but they are pretty similar looking, except for the whole being of different races thing.

Is that Petrarch in red with the wreath in the upper left corner?

 

[Lone Wolf]

That woman besides the red table looks like Lizzie II to me. I wonder why she is included.

Stalin's moustache is too thin. I didn't recognize him at first.

I really think that trying to find rhyme or reason in this is a bit of a mug's game.

The drawing the dude next to Stalin is staring at should give away who he is.

Ah, Vitruvian Man. I thought it looked vaguely like that but I was so sure the figure was meant to be ancient that it didn't occur to me he could be da Vinci. I was also misled by the hatching bird, thinking that this was a reference to Aristotle's famous observations on chicken foetuses, but I was sure it didn't look like Aristotle.

Well then, the bloke in sheet in the extreme top left. Who's he, eh?

 

[Cynovolans]

I was thinking Hammurabi with the rolled up paper he's holding being all those laws he made. But I've never seen a portrait of Hammurabi outside of Civilization so I'm not sure.

Who is the Greek next to the Asian guy next to Lenin. I'd guess Homer but I am not sure. And is that Bill Gates sitting right next to him? He looks kind of Asian.

 

[Kyriakos]

Hm i can see Tolstoy, but where is Dostoevsky?

 

[jtb1127]

The Greek guy behind Bill Gates? I'm thinking Platon.

 

[leeuw01]

Couldn't find one, sorry.

Who's this guy? He was in the historia news papers 3 months ago, a famous arms dealer but can't remember his name.

 

[LightSpectra]

Looks like Georges Clemenceau to me.

 

[leeuw01]

Ok, thanks. It frustrated me that I forgot his name.
