<div class="MsoNormal">
In a continuous history of thousands of years there have been billions of people who “visited” our planet but very few who managed to leave their mark. Even though every single man and woman on our list is dead, their ideas and works continue to shape and influence our world. If they’re influence can be felt in death, can you imagine what they would do in life? What do you think? If you had a chance to bring any influential historical figure back to life, who would you pick? Could it be one of these 25 Historical Figures?<br />

Following Socrates and Plato, Aristotle had a great wealth of knowledge and wisdom to build upon, but he left no successor who could surpass him. His work changed the direction of Western learning and continues to play a crucial part in modern studies. His work in the sciences would inevitably become obsolete, particular in natural philosophy. But his contributions to biology would remain unsurpassed for centuries. On the other hand, his work in the humanities and social sciences continues to provide the basis for debate and guide academic learning. Moreover, he essentially created the field of logic and devised the syllogism. Who wouldn’t wish this man to be alive today?<br />

He then went on to witness the assassination of President James Garfield. 20 years later, in 1901, President William McKinley invited him to the Pan-American exposition in New York and on that day President McKinley was also assassinated.

One day a paperboy dropped the coin and it split open revealing its coded contents. The code baffled the FBI and CIA until a Russian spy defected to the US and interpreted the note.
