Most influential person!.!.!.I have a few you can pick from:

P!.S- Ooh! Do the printing press!! That's the one I was trying to think of! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Johannes Gutenberg: Inventor of the printing press!.Germany ,1436!. Before then the only books existing in the World had to be hand written, usually by monks, in Latin, one at a time!.
The printing press meant that books were more widely available to more people although very few could read at that time!.
A former goldsmith, Gutenberg used his knowledge of metals to create the printing blocks!. He also pioneered colour printing, (see The Gutenberg Bible!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Jesus Christ!.

You don't have to be religious!. The very dates we use are testimony to that, although atheists are trying to use the BCE dates for the pre Christian era!.

Has for imventions, I would say the wheel was the most important!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would go with inventions and talk about writing/language!. Without writing or language, you would not be able to express ideas with others!. Without writing or language, you would not be able do your speech!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
