Before embarking on a missionary journey to the Hellenized Jews in Syria and Celicia, Paul asked his companion and assistant, Timothy, the son of a Jewish-Christian mother and Greek father, to be circumcised (Acts 16). On a separate occasion, before visiting the church in Jerusalem, "not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek" (Galatians 2: 3).

Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) is a standout amongst the most interesting identities ever. Prepared in Florence as a painter and stone carver in the workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio (1435–1488), Leonardo is additionally celebrated for his experimental commitments.

Upon investigation, Tello concluded the Paracas culture used an artificial preservation technique that he formulated because of a suspected carbonization of the bundles. Tello inferred that there was a form of incineration that the Paracas people used in their preservation (Guillén 2004) and concluded that this may have been ceremonial or accidental.
