Queen of Sheba

About Queen of Sheba

The Queen of Sheba is a legendary religious figure, whose story is documented across the Abrahamic faiths, notably in the Hebrew Bible (as the Queen of Sheba) and the Quran (as Bilqis). Her historical importance stems from her celebrated visit to the court of King Solomon, a tale symbolizing wisdom, wealth, and the merging of distant realms, securing her #447 rank among the most influential historical figures according to the Pantheon project.

In the context of modern internet attention, the Queen of Sheba occupies a fascinating position. With 754K annualized Wikipedia views in 2025, her online visibility is approximately 1x what would be expected given her high historical importance. This relatively balanced attention stands in stark contrast to figures like Catherine of Aragon (#932 importance), who garners 2.0M views, or even Judas Iscariot (#674 importance), who attracts 1.4M views, suggesting that while she is not forgotten, her legendary status does not translate into the extreme digital traffic seen by some contemporaries in religious or royal history.

Despite maintaining a 1x attention gap, recent interest appears to be waning slightly, as indicated by a -4.8% year-over-year change in pageviews and a -16% drop in momentum between Q1 and Q3 of 2025, hinting at a slow fade from the immediate focus of the digital public.
