Ok. I came across this picture over the World Wide Web...of stuff.

World's Most Influential People

Anyways I wanted to know the names of all these figures, and see if any of you can help out of whom they are.

Spoiler:
Clinton, Bush, Gandi, Noah, Hitler, Sadam, Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, Sun Tzu, Napoleon, Khan, Bruce Lee, Elvis, Guan Yu? (behind hitler), Michael Jordan, Ramses, Mike Tyson, Saladin


Frankly those are just a few names I could think of off the top of my head.

If any of you think you can name them all, by all means go for it.

Also if possible, try to point out the location of each person (though I know I didn't do it), and try to name at least 3-4.

I would guess this piece of art is more of a personal take on his or hers most influential figures. It would explain all the Asian figures in the painting. Still, the amount of detail put into that painting is crazy! I looked at that picture for a solid 15 minutes and I keep seeing new details =D.
Nice find Kagosin.

Here's some that weren't mentioned. I could be wrong on one or two.
Spoiler:
Archimedes, Don Vito Corleone, Prince Charles, Pelé and Leonardo da Vinci.

Yea. When you look at it that way, there are many different influential people out there. Honestly I don't think the painting captures every influential person in existence, otherwise it'd be a bigger painting.

You can see Osama bin Laden behind Bush, who happens to be looking through a spyglass in the wrong direction. Julius Caesar is to his left, and Yao Ming to his right. At least, I'm pretty sure.

Very cool painting.

Wow I didn't even notice that until what you said about Osama being there.

I know it says World's Most Influential People, but there is also inanimate objects that are there that are influential. For example in the far bottom left a record player, inwhich today music is prevalent, 7 wonders of the world scattered around the painting, a pinwheel, etc and so on.
