5 Most Famous Pre-CE/AD people

[Azathoth]

One of them extravagantly believe that alexander conquered Siberia and China.

I'm pretty sure he was joking dude.

I chose to interpet this question as the 5 most famous people to someone who lived before 1 CE, and therefore cannot answer it.

That's easy, your mother, your father, your brother, your sister and that crazy leper down the street.

I think Alexander (And to a smaller degree, Caesar) are justified.

Cyrus would be as justified as Alexander, much more so than Caesar. Let's not start a "he's more justified than him" debate though.

[Irishmafia2020]

1. Moses
2. Siddhartha gautama
3. Alexander
4. Julius Caesar
5. Shi huangdi - (Qin founder, unified china)

EDIT: Actually, Plato might be more famous than Alexander, albeit possibly unfairly...

[Companion Cavalry]

1. Philippos II
2. Megas Alexandros
3. Leonidas I (but only because of the 300 movie)

And I hate to include Romans where Greeks ought to hold the titles but:

4. Scipio Africanus
5. Iulius Caesar

(Only famous due to popular culture)

By this I mean the best-known to modern people.

And Adam/Eve do not count either. I want real people.

In that case:
1. Leonidas the Epic Spartan
2. Julius Caesar
3. Alexander the Great
4. Aristotle
5. Archimides
6. Eratosthenes
7. Pythagoras
8. Euclid
9. Cleopatra
10. Russell Crowe
