About Hulagu Khan
Hulagu Khan (1217–1265) was a pivotal political and military leader of the Mongol Empire, famous for leading the Mongol conquest of the Islamic heartlands. As a grandson of Genghis Khan, his most significant historical action was the 1258 sack of Baghdad, which brought an end to the Abbasid Caliphate, fundamentally reshaping the political and cultural map of the Middle East. This massive impact secures his standing at #451 in historical importance according to MIT’s Pantheon project.
Despite his monumental role in ending an ancient caliphate, Hulagu Khan suffers from a significant digital attention deficit. His annual Wikipedia pageviews in 2025 total only 71K, resulting in an Attention Gap score of -5x, meaning his modern online notice is a fifth of what his historical ranking suggests. For comparison, the much less historically significant (HPI #756) contemporary politician Deng Xiaoping garners 1.3 million views, illustrating a stark contrast in digital relevance.
Furthermore, his current online presence is shrinking; his 2025 views are down 18.3% year-over-year, and his Q1 vs Q3 momentum shows a steep 36% decline, suggesting his story is fading from current internet discourse even further.
