   Butterfly,
   Abdel Naseer… that's a good point… pyramids are there(in the back ground)… but I'm sure the painter must have missed many.

   I noticed that Sharon is there… shouldn't he be shown in a hospital bed being kept alive by intravenous feedings of human blood? He looks way too healthy in this picture to be realistic.

   Nice post. Actually I recognized few! Will appreciate it if you provide the source or the artwork original name or something so we can track it back to the original!

   Thanks for sharing.

   Sorry, no idea about the source. I got from one of these "send to all" (a.k.a. spam).

    this is a beautiful picture and it would be impossible for the artist to portray everyone of great importance. I can figure out most of the people but, a complete list would be great. i wonder if the artist put him/her-self in there somewhere. i absolutely love the painting and can appreciate the artists choices. you can find a larger photo of the picture at http://content.vkmag.com/gallery/mostfamousmenononephoto/index.html . i couldn't possibly see how anyone could think of anything negative about this painting. i would love to see more beautiful paintings by this artist (which i have no idea who it is). this is very inspiring and makes us feel a great admiration of those who have helped shape our world today.
