About Jonah

Jonah, a religious figure who lived around the 9th century BCE, is ranked #443 in historical importance by MIT's Pantheon project, signifying a substantial global cultural impact across various eras and languages. His primary narrative, deeply embedded in Abrahamic religious traditions, centers on his divine mission, his resistance to it, and the subsequent dramatic events, including the famous episode with the great fish, which solidified his place in world religious history.

In the modern context of 2025 internet attention, Jonah holds an Attention Gap of approximately 1x, suggesting his online visibility aligns reasonably well with his historical ranking. He garnered 381K annualized Wikipedia pageviews this year. To contextualize this, he receives significantly less attention than similarly classified religious figures like Anthony of Padua (#699 importance) with 604K views, or Jude the Apostle (#964 importance) with 752K views, indicating that while attention is proportional to his rank, other religious figures from comparable or even lower historical importance receive a larger digital share.

Despite maintaining a relatively stable attention level, Jonah's digital interest is showing signs of waning, with both his year-over-year change and his Q1 vs Q3 momentum declining by -15.2% and -8% respectively, suggesting a slow but measurable fade in contemporary online focus.
