I know Shakespear, is wrong, but I'm not your what's right (I'm intelligent!). Also, it's Marie Curie. BTW, where is Aristotle? His scientific beliefs were believed by Europe true for at least a thousand years

Hu, mistyping as it seems
Well, Aristotle ? I just couldn't remember him, though I KNEW that there were someone I was forgetting
Thank for the reminding

IMHO you should include Imhotep somewhere in the Egyptian list. He is the first known architect in history, famous for Zoser's step pyramid and funerary temple. Over 2000 years later he was deified by the Ptolemies (sp?), thought to be the same as the Greek Hippocrates (he was famous as a medical genius too ).
