Sorry, not EVERYTHING, but knew just about everything mankind knew at that time - there is one specific person who is considered to be such a last person, that person expanded so many fields that new knowledge started to develop much faster afterwards. That person was not right about everything either but was definitely historically very influential
that person is a mortal human

How do you think Plato would answer... perhaps the person with the least amount of knowledge would know what he knows better than anyone else. People are generally attempting to create the TOE theorie... Theories of Everything... especially physicists... From this persective I would argue most teenagers in terms of Quantity know more than people prior to the Industrial revolution.
In terms of quality and quantity however, I would argue someone like Suleiman the Great. He and his family were at the centre of the world when Countries existed on trade and religious meanderings. Families around this time had insights into medicine, warfare, trade and economics, and social equality that would not resurface in the western world for centuries. He also reigned for a long period of time in terms of holding a postion from which he could gain great knowledge in all affairs.

One of the polymaths of the late Mediaeval period. Roger Bacon (1214 - 1294) is a good possibility.
Even by the early Renaissance period, there were too many branches of knowledge for any one person to cover all of them. Leon Battista Alberti (1404 - 1472) was an astonishingly accomplished person in many different fields, and is truly fascinating to read about, but he never acquired any of the great body of knowledge of human anatomy and medicine which had accumulated by his time.

Adam -- before Lilith or Eve came on the scene.
Actually, nobody can know everything. Even the first human would not know what all the "lower" animals knew.

I would have to go with Jesus. No human can know everything.
