Abraham of Ur - greatest impact on the world of any schizophrenic in history with an impact that still affects billions a few millennia later.

My #1: All the no-name forgotten people that did the right thing and won’t be remembered for it. Ages of memorable names are the worst ages for average people. Like, ancient Egypt might seem impressive, except that it existed in a world that was far more egalitarian elsewhere. All that still exists came at the cost of those that lived with and built it. The true GOATest of GOATs is like the greatest of thieves; if you know their name, they weren’t the best. That is just my middle aged take.
