Entre mis textos random encontré una lista de personajes famosos de la historia, sólo sé que viene de este proyecto pero desconozco la forma en la que está ordenada, y parece que abarca un periodo específico de tiempo. Se me hizo buen ejercicio para enterarse de lo que uno mismo no sabe. No importa cuanto sepamos, la ignorancia siempre será mayor a nuestro conocimiento.
