        indeed, but born in Königsberg, present day Kallinigrad (Russia). Regardless, Russians themselves were clearly not consulted b/c Kant wouldn't make the top ten there. Local authorities wanted to rename the airport after Kant and there was a nationalist outcry!

        This is misleading. Silly, actually. Call it 'Μost famous person from area currently occupied by these countries´. Homer far predates Turkey (and nobody knows where he was born) and Kant was born in Koningsberg, Germany, not Kaliningrad, Russia.

        Kant was born (and died!) in the Kingdom of Prussia. Way before united Germany came into being.

        But of course! It is well known that Odyssea and Iliad were spoken and subsequently written in Turkish and that Latin alphabet- “Andra mi ennepen mousa os mala polla...” See?

        Wow, what a hornet's nest! Homer more famous than Atatürk? Only if you're looking in from outside Turkey, of course.

        Atatürk was from Salonica, so he would be shown for Greece on this map - just as Kant is shown for Russia because Königsberg was conquered by Stalin...
