A study analyzing Wikipedia data to determine who has been the most significant person in history has said Jesus tops the list.
Two computer scientists used quantitative analysis of the data on Wikipedia to create the list that they said is similar to how Google ranks web pages in its search engine.
“We would call Jesus ‘The most significant person ever,’” Professor Steven Skiena said. “With over 2 billion followers a full 2,000 years after his death, Jesus is an incredibly successful historical meme.”
The scientists did add that the ratings could change over time because of the continuing evolving nature of Wikipedia. They noted many people in the lower parts of their list will likely have more significant movement through time.
Ranked behind Jesus in the list was Napoleon Bonaparte and William Shakespeare.
