James Henry Breasted thought that Akhenaten (father of King Tut, husband of Nefertiti) was the "first individual in history" - in other words, the first person that we know anything significant about as a person not just a political figure or official office. This is at least partially due to the revolutionary character of his reign, which he personally pushed against conservative establishment forces. These changes were subsequently reversed by his successors, so he does stand out as quite a remarkable historical blip for the time (c. 1340 BC).

Breasted wrote that opinion in 1933, however. Not sure what more recent scholarship thinks about it.

This submission has been removed because it violates the rule on poll-type questions. These poll-type questions do not lend themselves to answers with a firm foundation in sources and research, and the resulting threads usually turn into monsters with enormous speculation and little focussed discussion. “Most”, “least”, "best" and "worst" questions usually lead to vague, subjective, and speculative answers.

For questions of these types, we ask that you redirect them to more appropriate subreddits, such as /r/history or /r/askhistory.
