I'm asking with specific regard to historical figures' visions that did come to fruition but they passed away.

Examples I can give you: the biblical figure Moses, who never got to see the promised land and da Vinci who didn't execute many of his inventions.

I'm looking for historical figures of any sort who were working toward movements, inventions, discoveries etc. but died before.
