Abraham

About Abraham

Abraham, an ancient religious figure active between approximately 1813 and 1638 BCE, is ranked #109 by MIT’s Pantheon project, signifying immense historical importance across global cultures and time. This high ranking acknowledges his foundational role in establishing a major faith tradition, whose subsequent influence shaped entire civilizations and ethical frameworks for millennia.

Despite this profound historical weight, modern online attention for Abraham is relatively modest. In 2025, his Wikipedia page garnered an annualized 1.6 million views, placing him far behind more contemporary or culturally niche figures. For perspective, his attention is only about one-third of what is afforded to Brigham Young (#947 importance), highlighting a significant overattention gap of +3x relative to historical importance. While his views declined by 7.1% year-over-year, the gap suggests that the digital public sphere has yet to reflect his world-altering historical impact in sustained traffic.

Further illustrating the disconnect, the momentum data shows a further 10% drop in interest between Q1 and Q3 of 2025, indicating a slow drift away from figures foundational to many world religions.
