This book was published in 2012 and has a short 3 page biography of about 200 subjectively chosen people considered by the author to be "Titans of History."

The biographies are organized chronologically by (sometimes estimated) date of birth. The 11th biography is of the Athenian statesman Alcibiades.

Who are the earliest ten Titans of History?

3. King David of Israel
4. Nebuchadnezzar II
5. Cyrus the Great
6. The Buddha
7. Confucius
8. Sun Tzu

Still all to play for with 4 questions left.

We have lost some people, I suppose that the questions are too difficult. I never claimed to know what I was doing. Thanks to everyone sticking it out - looks like we will have an exciting ending anyways.

The questions are difficult alright, but I didn't expect anything else.
I honestly am happy to only get 1-3 points per entry, as long as I can learn something new from the question.

I really enjoyed this question, I'm a little disappointed about missing Confucius though. Africa quiz question looks great too.
