Good Gosh, man! This is the most extensive listing I've seen along these lines!
Most excellent. To me, this just illustrates a thought I've had, that there should be like a layer or something for these kinds of things. I've seen you, festershinetop, greenwood, and others posting great things like this, and it shows a definite interest.
I'll upload my file, which I thought was pretty big and impressive before I saw yours.
Good job.
p.s. I think this should be posted to the main Earth Browsing section as well, if you haven't already done it. There is a good bit of general interest here that people might not notice in just the history section.
umm.. post a link to the message containing the kmz, don't repost the kmz. Gotta keep the dupes to a dull roar..

Well, I ask any MOD (possibly the Chief). Is there any plan to create any folder or any thing to discriminate these valuable placemarks like these on the GE downloads (Picasso-special or Alexander the Geat's story, Micheal Jackson's life, etc) from those ordinary ones in your database? This I say because personally I would like to have them (if I were an anonymous person), as soon as I realize a folder like "Historical personalities" or "Great Artists" or the like. 
Edit: O, I'm sorry, I think this better be a subject of a web site because it will be increase the list of the folders some hundred times more. Wouldn't it? But I still think there can be found a way between. Do you think in the same manner? It was only an loud thinking of mine.
